Intro: E C#m A B (x2) 

Verse 
     E 
I've left all my words to say 
C#m 
Back at home dear 
A                         B 
But I can take you there 
    E 
And if for the moment I 
C#m                  A                         B 
Should've left those words for a quiet prayer 

       A 
It'd be seven years gone 
E                   A                      B 
I'd still be asking why, I'd still be waiting 
A              E                   A 
Seven years for one moment just to try 
                 B 
I'd still be waiting 

Interlude 
E C#m A B 

Verse 
     E 
That night's a familiar taste 
C#m 
In my mouth 
      A                            B 
Where words often keep their place 
    E                  C#m 
And if for the moment I would've left those 
A                      B 
Words for a better day 

       A 
It'd be seven years gone 
E                   A                      B 
I'd still be asking why, I'd still be waiting 
A              E                   A 
Seven years for one moment just to try 
                 B 
I'd still be waiting 

Break 
A                  B 
We faded once one time 
       A                 B 
And as I recall I acted fine 
A                       B 
The truth is I'm still wincing 
       A                     B 
That I only gave it one goodbye 

       A 
It'd be seven years gone 
E                   A                      B 
I'd still be asking why, I'd still be waiting 
A              E                   A 
Seven years for one moment just to try 
                 B              E 
I'd still be waiting
