Intro.: Am   F   Am   F
          Am                           F
I’ve been waiting for so long for this moment to come
Am                              F
I’ve been wondering the day I would see you
    G                           Am
And touch you again, and when I get you in my arms
         F           G           Am
Kiss your lips and go back to the start

(Bridge)
Dm                      Am
But life’s played tricks on me
                         G
By the time I was out of here

(Chorus)
                F               Am
So please tell me why you couldn’t wait?
               F                Am
Please tell me why now I can’t stay
               F                        Am
Please tell me why it needed to be this way
     Dm                         
Even if I’ve been too far away
        Em
Baby you know I’d never leave you a shame
(Intro.:)    ( Am   F ) 4X
Am                       F
And now I’m holding on in line
Am                              F
Waiting my turn to find a place to hide
             G                        Am
 'cause you couldn’t keep inside everything you promised me
             F            G            Am
I thought I’d never die, you lied I can’t believe it
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
                F               Am
So please tell me why you couldn’t wait?
               F              Am
Please tell me why now I can’t stay
               F                       Am
Please tell me why it needed to be this way
     Dm                         
Even if I’ve been too far away
        Em
Baby you know I’d never leave you a shame
(SOLO)… Am    F    Am    F    E    Am    F    G
(Bridge)…       (Chorus)        …
F    Am F    Am F    Am        F
Why…    Why…    Why…
