Intro: G5 C5 G5 D5 G5 C5 G5 D5 G5

G5                           C5
One thought has me turning back
  G5                     D5  
a dozen point the other way
G5                             C5       
We act upon desire to each a hand for hire
    G5                   D5        G5
and patience isn't worth the wait


 C5                       G5
You've got knives in your eyes
 C5                              G5
You would be happy not to change your mind
 E5                 A5
I can't defend you truly
             D5              C5                D5  (STOP)
When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire


               C5       G5
And if we work it out
            D5 
Chances abound
                     G5            
We'd be standing our ground
                    C5
For no one's better sake
       G5           D5
(better say) goodbye
(INTRO)
What are we waiting for? (x6)

Hum... What are we waiting for?
(SAME)
How faint might that light become
in focus but at miles away?
Although my position
just gives you an ignition
be certain that I know my praise

So is this how it ends?
Oh with a whimper in the place of a bang
I can't defend you truly
When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire

And if we work it out
chances abound
we'd be standing our ground
For no one's better sake
(better say) goodbye
(SAME AS ABOVE)
We would be friends
if we tried again
I'll take second place
just to end the race
for no one's better sake
(better say) goodbye.
