Waiting to Happen Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I lie awake at night
Listening to you [Bm]sleeping
I hear the darkness [G]breathe
And the rain against the win[D]dow

[Verse 2]
After all this [D]time
Cynical an[Bm]d jaded
All the stones are dia[G]monds
All the blues are faded
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Everything I've been [F#m]through
[G]All I've seen and [A]heard
[Em]Spend so much of my [F#m]life
In the [G]spiritual third [Em]world
But you came and brought the rain [F#m]here

[Verse 4]
[G]Something wai[A]ting to
hap[Bm]pen[Bsus4]
[Bm]Something learning to fl[D]y
We can talk without talk
[Bm]ing[Bsus4][Bm]
From inside to in[D]side
I have waited to feel [Em]this[G]
For the whole [D]of my life

[Verse 5]
We took ourselves [D]apart
We talked about our [Bm]faces
You said you didn't like [G]yours
I said I disagree
[D]

[Verse 6]
I keep the pieces separate
I clutch them in my [Bm]coat
A jigsaw of an [G]angel
I can do when [D]I feel low

[Verse 7]
From [Em]emptiness and dry[F#m]ness
The [G]famine of our days
[A]I wat[Em]ch the heavens ope[F#m]n
[G]Wash it all [Em]away
You came and brought the rain [F#m]here

[Verse 8]
[G]Something wai[A]ting to
hap[Bm]pen[Bsus4]
[Bm]Something learning to fly[D]
On the edge of ex[Bm]ploding
[Bsus4][Bm]
Something wild and [D]alive
Something waiting to hap[E]pen[Em]
Any time that [C]you like
I have waited to [Em]feel [G]this
For the whole [D]of my life
