Introduction:
D A
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
D A
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
Em
It's just another call from home
G D A
You&rsquo ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
D A
I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave
D A
But I'll be left here waiting' with my heart on my sleeve
Em
Oh for the next time we'll be here
G D A
Seems like a million years, and I think I'm dying

What do I have to do to make you see
Em G A

D A Em G A
D A
You keep telling me baby there will come a time
D A
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
Em

G D A
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
