G                                            Em          D/F# 
Like a crash, I wait for the impact, 

G                                           Em          D/F# 
Like a train, I wait for the smoke,

G                                           Em          D/F# 
Like a glove, I wait til you fall.

Like a dog, I wait for my owner

And just like you, I won?t say a word
