[Intro]
C   Fmaj7   C  Fmaj7

[Verse 1]
C                  Fmaj7
Childhood dreams, make believe
C                          Fmaj7
Nothings gonna break your heart
C               Fmaj7
Those who wait soon discover
C                 Fmaj7
Everything falls apart
C          Fmaj7
Baby I was so naive
C                          Fmaj7
Thinking I could brave the cold
C           Fmaj7
Just get me out of here
C                       Fmaj7
Before we both turn too old

[Chorus]
        C  Fmaj7                 C                    Fmaj7
Tell me why,  (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
        C  Fmaj7                 C                    Fmaj7
Tell me why,  (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long


C   Fmaj7   C   Fmaj7


[Verse 2]
C                       Fmaj7
Please don't take that part of me
    C                   Fmaj7
I never wanted to give away
C                   Fmaj7
Run me through the things we do
   C                     Fmaj7
I just need a reason to stay
C              Fmaj7
Far away to a vacant room
      C                    Fmaj7
Where I can still see the shore
   C                Fmaj7
Close my eyes to a candle burning
   C                       Fmaj7
Knowing you will lock the door

[Chorus]
        C  Fmaj7                 C                    Fmaj7
Tell me why,  (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
        C  Fmaj7                 C                    Fmaj7
Tell me why,  (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
C                       Fmaj7
Don't disappear, don't leave me here
C                           Fmaj7
Waiting for the curtains to fall
C                Fmaj7
Show me how you need me now
     C                      Fmaj7
And nothing else matters at all
C                     Fmaj7
We've been down this road so long
C                    Fmaj7
Hangin' on a twisted turn
C                Fmaj7
We should be the first ones to know
C                       Fmaj7
We're never too old to learn

[Chorus]
        C  Fmaj7                 C                    Fmaj7
Tell me why,  (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
        C  Fmaj7                 C                    Fmaj7
Tell me why,  (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
        C  Fmaj7                 C                    Fmaj7
Tell me why,  (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
        C  Fmaj7                 C                    Fmaj7
Tell me why,  (in the waiting) why's it gotta take so long
