Verse 
A 
All the time before I knew you 
E 
Seems now so long 
    A 
And I cannot explain 
E 
Even if I try 

Verse 
        A 
No, you never make it easy 
                     E 
Know it's hard to be strong 
           A 
But all in good time 
      E 
I can wait 


        C 
I'll be waiting 
        Am 
I'll be waiting 
             C 
For I cannot explain 
          Am 
Even if I try 
            C 
When you're leaving 
        Am 
I'll be waiting 
               C 
For I cannot refuse you 
     Am 
I've tried 

Verse 
        A 
All the years spent together 
E 
Slowly ageing on 
      A 
And I wonder just what's wrong 
         E 
Are you tired? 


        C 
I'll be waiting 
        Am 
I'll be waiting 
             C 
For I cannot explain 
          Am 
Even if I try 
            C 
When you're leaving 
        Am 
I'll be waiting 
               C 
For I cannot refuse you 
     Am 
I've tried
