E5
Writing out lines as they come to me
A5                         E5
Scratching them out almost immediately
A5                   F5          E5
Don't know what it's done to me

E5
Well it's cold, it's wet, it's been raining all night
A5                             E5
And there's a letter I've been trying to write
A5                       F5                E5
Something better waiting somewhere for me

A5                  A5
And one of them is sitting on the wrong coast
E5             C#5
One awaits an answer by return post
F#5       A5
Waiting, waiting, waiting

E5
Try to remember how long it's been
A5                              E5
Since there was more to us than paper and pen
A5                F5              E5
Think how easy it is to conceive

E5
And I know when we're together again
A5                        E5
We'll be strangers for an hour and then
A5                          F5                  E5
We'll have to figure out if this thing is real

A5                  A5
And one of them is sitting on the wrong coast
E5             C#5
One awaits an answer by return post
F#5       A5
Waiting, waiting, waiting

(solo) E5 A5 E5 F#5 A5 E5 A5 E5 F#5 A5 E5

E5
Cold and wet and rain all night
A5                    E5
There's a letter I've got to write
A5                  F5              E5
Something better is waiting for me

A5                  A5
And one of them is sitting on the east coast
E5             C#5
One awaits an answer by return post
F#5       A5
Waiting, waiting, waiting

A5                A5
Take a drink and staring out the window
E5             C#5
Wondering how long this can continue
F#5       A5
Waiting, waiting
