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