Verse
G# D# C# G#
The nightstand by the mirror, a suitcase waving goodbye
G# D# C# G#
A# box left for the future, feel the presence of the knife.
G# D# C# G#
Still afraid of what he means to you, still afraid to wonder why
G# D# C# G#
Shadows ‘neath the lonely pine, the screen door slams behind.
[Chorus]
G# D#
Times a wasting, I’ve been such a fool
C# G# D#
I’ve been waiting up for you…waiting for you.
[Verse]
G# D# C# G#
California dreams lying on the floor, the stars they burn so bright
G# D# C# G#
Sidewalks the same no matter where, I miss the trails we used to ride.
G# D# C# G#
The days hide from the wicked lies, when the city of angels cry
G# D# C# G#
The Hollywood sign, this low lit room on Sunset Boulevard
[Chorus]
G# D#
Times a wasting, I’ve been such a fool
C# G# D#
I’ve been waiting up for you…waiting for you. (Repeat)
[Verse]
G# D# C# G#
Time to crawl out of this shitty ole ditch, time to wave up my rights
G# D# C# G#
Mighta, coulda, woulda, shoulda seen it all before, before I got this high
G# D# C# G#
He’s the one in the corner of the picture no time to wonder why
G# D# C# G#
Sitting by the windowsill drinking it down, a taillight suicide.
[Chorus]
G# D#
Times a wasting, I’ve been such a fool
C# G# D#
I’ve been waiting up for you…waiting for you. (Repeat and fade)
(Slow)
G# D# C# G#
The Hollywood sign, this lowlit room on Sunset Boulevard.
