I've been waiting, I've been thinking
C/G F
I've been wanting to sing you this song
F Bº
I know you may not understand my thoughts
C/G F
But you will know where it's coming from

Grab your guitar and your maraca
C/G F

So Happy Birthday, but it's my way
C/G F
Maybe one day you'll sing along
Am C/G F
And as you go through life, they may be unkind

We're always walking in the morning
C/G F
And you look up with your beautiful stare

And you start talking, and there's no stopping

And then we're running to tell your mom and
C/G F
We never make it back to our street

My heart singing a song so sweet
Am C/G

You will bring such light
