Fool For Waiting

       C                  G
I can't tell you what it means
         D                   Em
When you are here, I am at ease
        C                      G
I don't blame you when you're gone
      D                Em
For the sadness in my song

C                          G
That weight is mine alone, that shadow is my own
D/F#               Em
The coast is never clear
C                            G
I'll wait for morning though, you will arrive
         D                       Em
So we can watch that shadow disappear


[Chorus]

      C            G            D           G
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
              C         Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
                      G            C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind

            G          C
They tell me Give it up
               G         Em
But I won't ever give it up


[Verse 2]

       C                     G
Because when the night does fade
     D                     Em
I'm alive in the strangest way

     C                     G
Those first few cracks of dawn
      D                    Em
Are a taste of what's to come

C                   G
And yes I hum and haw about nothing at all
D/F#          Em
I get lost in fear
C                         G                          D
But no thief or act of god could take this grin I've got
                  Em
I know you will be here


[Chorus]

         C             G             D          G
And if you try to be with me, I will try to get by
              C         Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
                      G            C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind

            G         C
They tell me Give it up
            G            Em
But I won't ever give it up


[Bridge]

Ah, they tell me
C
So what she's in your head?
D
She's gonna leave again?
Em
What's gonna happen then?
G
She's just enabling
C
And there is truth to that
D
But I ain't holding back
Em          G
If you try, try, try

[Chorus]

C              G          D          G
Try to be with me, I will try to get by
               C        Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
                      G            C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind...

       C              G          D          G
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
               C        Em
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
                      G            C
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind

             G
They tell me Give it up
C                G       C
But I won't ever give it up
                     G       C
Oh, and they tell me Give it up
            G            C
But I won't ever give it up
