In The Waiting Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I've been waiting for answers
I've been waiting a long, long time
[Em]If I open the door won't you come inside
[G]My heart's

[Verse 2]
begging for mercy
How much longer can I sit still and be
[Em]Hopeful and doubting and torn inside
[G]

[Verse 3]
And [C]all this time
I've been staring at the [G]minute hand
Oh, [Am]what a crime
That I can't seem [Em]to understand
[D]that life is in [Am]the waiting
[G]

[Verse 4]
I've been working on patience
Trying to trust in the timing
of [Em]my tiny existence
I come alive
[G]I stood still in the twilight
I found peace in the quiet things
How [Em]could I wish away all
the in between?
[G]

[Verse 5]
And [C]all this time
I've been staring at [G]the minute hand
Oh, [Am]what a crime
That I can't seem to [Em]un derstand
that [D]life is in the [Am]waiting
[G]And

[Verse 6]
[Am]I find there's no knowing
of [G]a right time
No, it could keep you wait
[Am]ing all night for [G]it
[Am]So hold tight

[Verse 7]
Don't lose sleep over [G]the half- life
Know that everything [Am]is alright
Just like [G]it is
[C]And

[Verse 8]
all this time
I've been staring at the minute [G]hand
[Am]Oh, what a crime
That I can't seem to [Em]un de[D]rs[Em]tand
that [D]life is [C]in the [Am]waiting[G]
Life is in the [Am]waiting
[G]
