Introduction: C5 A5 F5 G5
C5 F5
I walk the line
D5
Leave it all behind
G5
I've been waiting forever
C5 F5
Let's go back in time
D5
When I could read your mind
G5
Still I've been waiting
(pre-chorus)
B5 C5
It took the seasons going by
B5 C5
To know it's not my fault
(chorus)
C5 A5 F5
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
G5 C5
Tried to everything that you ever wanted
C5 A5 F5
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
G5 C5
Tried to be everything but you
(verse 2)
C5 F5
It's been so long
D5
Since you've been home
G5
I used to wait up forever
C5 F5
Used to say a prayer
D5
Wishing you were there
G5
And I'm still waiting
C5 F5
You told me once
You'd show up
D5
But I fell for that
G5
Before I fell to pieces
C5
Then I woke up
F5
To no one,
D5
Just a picture of Jesus
G5
And a house left in pieces
(bridge)
A5
I wanted you
E5
I need you
C5 D5
I want to believe you
A5
I wanted you
E5
I need you
C5 D5
I want to believe you
C5 A5 F5
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
G5
Tried to be everything but you
