I Waited
Chris Cummings Somewhere Inside
She asked before she turned away, {C G C
"Is there anything you need to say ?" {F C G
"I love you" , might have worked {C G C
But I didn't say a single word {F C G
She never even made the front gate {F G
Before I knew that I was too late {F G
CHORUS:
I waited 'til she was far enough away {F Em
And then I cried {F}
I waited 'til she had all she could take {F Em F
And I don't know why {G}
I wanted to say I love you {C F
At the perfect time {C G F
And like a fool I waited 'til she said goodbye F G C
All the lines weren't quite right {C G C
The chances that I let slip by {F C G
All the times that I held out {C G C
Are reasons she's not here right now {F C G
All she really needed was to know {F G
All I had to do was let it show {F G
CHORUS(2X)
