I'll be waiting 

D 
I sat on the doorstep
G                               A                G
and watched her slowly walk away 
G                              A                 D
She wasn't sad, she wasn't angry 
G                              A                 D
Does she ever hear a word I say ?
I was only a dumb kid 
playing parts I'd studied for a day
but I'm no actor 
could never say a line to save my life

Bm
So what's the matter with indifference ?
G
It's just an easy way to kill the pain 
A
You can't be crying when you're travelling 
D
even when you know you've missed the train


So take your time, don't you worry 
I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting

Don't want to be a ploughboy
seen my father break his back that way 
I'm not a dreamer, I'm a builder 
at least that's what the voices say 
I can't let love spoil my chances 
can't let a girl stand in my way 
So it's the best thing to tell 
her I'm just leaving for a day 
and what's so wrong about deception 
maybe I could change my mind and stay 
You can't be crying, while your travelling 
it won't be me that's crying anyway.
