Verse 1. 
D     A           G      D 
It's six minutes until eleven 
     A              G           D 
The phone rings but it's never you 
   A               G                   D 
I won't walk the floor I'll just watch it 
  A        G            D 
Stood up impatient and blue 

            Bm    
What am I waiting for 
G    
She might never show 
            Bm 
What am I waiting for 
G                    D 
My legs won't let me go  
            Bm                     E 
What am I waiting for, what am I waiting for 
G                 A 
She'll never get here 
 
Verse 2. 
 
It's not that I'm worried about her 
She'll think up some brand new excuse 
So why am I all alone and crazy 
While she's having fun running loose 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
Verse 3. 
 
It's six minutes after eleven  
But I'm talking about the next day 
Our date was just made to be broken  
I guess some things just never change 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
            Bm            G 
What am I waiting for 
            Bm            G 
What am I waiting for  
            Bm           
What am I waiting for 
G                 A       D 
She'll never get here
