Intro: C G Am Em 

       C                       G          Am Em       C                            G        Am Em 
Do I want to say the things I say, when I know that they are wrong  
        C                  G       Am Em                C                G Am Em   
Do I wait here forever for you, would you ask me to?  
  
                        G         D 
I been waiting here, all night 
                                Am  
If your not going to show  
C/B                    C 
Were not gunna fight  
            G                       D 
I could stay, forever, if I tried  
                     Am                   C/B                C 
Surrounded by things, like a shadow in the light  

C G Am Em 
C G Am Em 

          C                G      Am   Em 
Do I try and stay still for you  
              C                        G  
And the clowns who park here  
             Am                   Em 
Fill the emptiness of the room  



Do you watch me from the corner of your eye  
Do we say goodbye  
                        G 
I waited in the ways  
                D 
For you to appear  
                                     Am 
But your never coming back 
C/B                      C  
Your never gunna feel 
              G                      D 
Like we did, I waited all night  
                   Am 
I tried to let you go 
           C/B                C  
Like a shadow in the light  

The light...  

Do I wait  
Do I wait... for you  
Do I wait  
Do I wait... for you  

Do I wait here forever for you,  
Did you ask me to?
