G                 D
I been thinking and been hummin'
       G                 C
I been pickin and I been strumming
     G        D            G    C G
Just waiting, waiting on a song
       G                   D
I been hitching and I been thumbin'
      G               C
I can almost hear one coming
         G        D            G    C G
I'm just waiting, waiting on a song

[Chorus 1]
  C
I looked down in my pocket
G
Underneath the bed
       C
Walked under the lamp post
        G             D
And one hit me on the head

[Verse]
     G                    D
Am I blind or too dumb to see
        G                 C
All the sound surrounding me?
         G        D            G    C G
I'm just waiting, waiting on a song

        G              D
You can look up at the stars
         G                  C
Bow your head and count the cars
                G        D            G    C G
You'll still be waiting, waiting on a song
           G              D
Might be a blue bird or a crow
     G                C
On a cord between two poles
             G        D            G    C G
They're just waiting, waiting on a song

[Chorus 2]
C
Songs don't grow on trees
          G
You gotta pick em' out the breeze
C
Fall down on your knees
    G              D
And pray one comes along

[Verse]
           G                   D
When those railroad gates come down
          G             C
You gotta stop and turn around
             G        D            G    C G
Or you'll be waiting, waiting on a song
