I waited for the sun but it was already dawn
G D A7
It was already dawn breakin' fast all along
Bm G D
And I waited for her song but she was already gone

Verse 3

So it seems I've spent a lifetime arrested and beholden
Standin' on the threshold absolutely frozen
Waitin' on some God above to tell me I was chosen
Instead I spoke myself the door was always open
Instead I spoke myself the door was always open
