Am              G                 F                C 
I'm afraid it's been too long to try to find the reasons why 
Am              G                 F                C 
I let my world close in around a smaller patch of fading sky 
Am              G                 F                     F 
But now I've grown beyond the walls to where I've never been 
Am              G                 F     F 
And it's still winter in my wonderland 
Am       G           F          C 
I'm waiting for the world to fall 
Am       G           F          F 
I'm waiting for the scene to change 
Am       G           F          C 
I'm waiting when the colors come 
Am       G           F          F 
I'm waiting to let my world come undone 
Am               G               F                  C 
I close my eyes and try to see the world unbroken underneath 
Am               G               F                  C 
The farther off and already it just might make the life I lead 
Am               G               F                  F 
A little more than make-believe when all my skies are painted blue 
Am               G               F                  F 
And the clouds don't ever change the shape of who I am to You 
Am       G           F          C 
I'm waiting for the world to fall 
Am       G           F          F 
I'm waiting for the scene to change 
Am       G           F          C 
I'm waiting when the colors come 
Am       G           F          F 
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

Dm, Am  x2 

Bb                     F                              Dm 
When I catch the light of falling stars my view is changing me 
Am                G       Am   G   F 
My view is changing me 

I'm waiting 

Final
Am       G           F          F 
I'm waiting for the world to fall 
Am       G           F          F 
I'm waiting for the scene to change 
Am       G           F          F 
I'm waiting when the colors come 
Am       G           F          F
