Dear Sarah,

           E                 Dsus2/A     E                       A6/9/F#
We haven't known one another long, but I know that you're what I need

      E                                   Dsus2/A      E
And I hate the ones who tell us that it's wrong so I'm asking you to...

  A6/9/F#                   E
Believe in what I say, even if it sounds clichéd

You've gotta put me out of my misery

I've laid myself wide open, my heart is on my sleeve

                    D6/9/A                     Esus4 to E
The ball is in your corner, I'm waiting in the wings

                       Asus2/E                               Dsus2/A
You're a candle in the darkness and I'm a moth drawn to your flame

                           D6/9/A   
You gotta help me now 'cos I can't play

    Esus4 to E   Asus2/E
The wait.....ing game.

Verse 2

So Sarah,
It's a week since you went away but it feels like it's been a year
Sarah when you come back to stay then you know that I'll still be
Here and on my knees begging Sarah please
You've gotta put me out of my misery

Chorus

I've laid myself wide open, my heart is on my sleeve
The ball is in your corner, I'm waiting in the wings
You're a candle in the darkness and I'm a moth drawn to your flame
You gotta help me now 'cos I can't play
The waiting game.

(violin solo - continue the chorus chord sequence)

  A6/9/F#                   E
So believe in what I say, even if it sounds clichéd

             Dsus2/A          E   
You've gotta put me out of my misery

Chorus

I've laid myself wide open, my heart is on my sleeve
The ball is in your corner, I'm waiting in the wings
You're a candle in the darkness and I'm a moth drawn to your flame
You gotta help me now 'cos I can't play
(The waiting game)
You know I burn my fingers nine times out of ten
The hardest part is waiting but I'll do it all again
My breath is always bated, the end's always the same
You gotta help me now 'cos I can't play
The waiting game.

     A6/9/F#     
Dear Sarah...
