G# C#maj7
[Intro]
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
[Verse 1]
G# C#maj7
Childhood dreams, make believe
G# C#maj7
Nothings gonna break your heart
G# C#maj7
Those who wait soon discover
G# C#maj7
Everything falls apart
G# C#maj7
Baby I was so naive
G# C#maj7
Thinking I could brave the cold
G# C#maj7
Just get me out of here
G# C#maj7
Before we both turn too old
[Chorus]
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
Tell me why, (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
Tell me why, (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
[Verse 2]
G# C#maj7
Please don't take that part of me
G# C#maj7
I never wanted to give away
G# C#maj7
Run me through the things we do
G# C#maj7
I just need a reason to stay
G# C#maj7
Far away to a vacant room
G# C#maj7
Where I can still see the shore
G# C#maj7
Close my eyes to a candle burning
G# C#maj7
Knowing you will lock the door
[Chorus]
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
Tell me why, (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
Tell me why, (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
G# C#maj7
Don't disappear, don't leave me here
G# C#maj7
Waiting for the curtains to fall
G# C#maj7
Show me how you need me now
G# C#maj7
And nothing else matters at all
G# C#maj7
We've been down this road so long
G# C#maj7
Hangin' on a twisted turn
G# C#maj7
We should be the first ones to know
G# C#maj7
We're never too old to learn
[Chorus]
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
Tell me why, (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
Tell me why, (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
Tell me why, (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
G# C#maj7 G# C#maj7
Tell me why, (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
