D   A   G   Bm A  D  

verse 1 
D                 A 
I've been running out of 
      G 
My 70 excuses 
                         Bm 
There comes a point when patience 
      A               D 
Can't take all these abuses 
                    A 
Now my reserves are empty 
                    G 
I'm feeling kind of low 
                              Bm 
Because when do you fight for someone 
    A                   Em 
And when do you let 'em go 
                G                          Em 
The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine 
                      Bm           A             D 
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine 

D                 A                       G 
I've been waiting for you to come to your senses 
                Bm           A                 D 
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches 
                  A                            G 
You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself 
             Bm        A           D 
Even you the mercenary could use a little help 
                A                     G 
You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride 
          Bm                A           D 
You never run, but you sure know how to hide 
D      A         G        Bm  A   D 
 Oh-oh-oh  Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oooh 

verse 2 
D                     A 
My friend said he had seen you 
           G 
At a movie theatre 
                           Bm 
You looked just as you had always 
       A            D 
Didn't ask about me either 
                          A 
I won't say life ends without you 
                    G 
But you're the only answer 
                  Bm 
You got me like a thief 
    A              Em 
You got me with my hands up 
                G                          Em 
The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine 
                      Bm           A             D 
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine 

D                 A                       G 
I've been waiting for you to come to your senses 
                Bm           A                 D 
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches 
                  A                            G 
You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself 
             Bm        A           D 
Even you the mercenary could use a little help 
                A                     G 
You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride 
          Bm                A           D 
You never run, but you sure know how to hide 
D      A         G        Bm   A 
 Oh-oh-oh  Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oooh 

Bridge 
A     G                  A 
Yeah,    say  something now 
    Bm    A      Em 
Yeah,    be safe now 
Em                     G 
 Your wish  is         falling        before    you 
            (There's a faith, there's a faith in my heart) 
       D 
   The stars      are       frustrating 
(going days won't stop, when I feel that I'm still) 
       A 
You'll always     win    the       waiting 
(in the beat of your soul, when you talk, when you write) 

         G 
When you weave and you flow 
        G 
And you leave and you stay 
     A 
Only waiting is left 
                               D 
Now I'm kneeling around in the cold 

D                 A                       G 
I've been waiting for you to come to your senses 
                Bm           A                 D 
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches 
                  A                            G 
You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself 
             Bm        A           D 
Even you the mercenary could use a little help 
                A                     G 
You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride 
          Bm                A           D 
You never run, but you sure know how to hide 
D      A         G        Bm  A   D 
 Oh-oh-oh  Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oooh
