[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 G      Cmaj7
 I    saw Eleanor
C
Standing in the kitchen
G                          Cmaj7   C
Eyes falling through the floor
                        G
Eyes like a wishing well
                     C
I think she wanted more

From kitchen floors

[Chorus]
Em         G  Em
Eleanor, Eleanor
D
 What were you waiting for?
                 Em
Some kind of miracle?
        A   D
Oh, Eleanor

Were you just terrified?
                                 G
Of that truth that you might find

[Verse 2]
           C
I know Eleanor (Eleanor, Eleanor)
                        G                       C
She curses like a poet, so what is she silent for? (Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor)

Oh, why don't you fight it?
G                       C
Maybe things got too loud (Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor)
                       G
Maybe she's just too proud

[Chorus]
Em          G   D
Eleanor, Eleanor

What were you waiting for?
                    Em
Some kind of miracle?
          G
Oh, Eleanor
D
  Were you just terrified?

Of that truth that you might-

[Outro]
G
So come on now, Eleanor

I swear to God you wanted more
   D
Didn't you say life was boring?

Didn't you used to sing glory?
  G
Come on, oh, Eleanor

The world was knockin' at your door
   D
And you just stood on your kitchen floor

You just stood there, Eleanor
  G
What's next, not the sound of war

The glory you once say for
 D
Come on, oh, Eleanor
                        D
What were you waiting for?
