Verse 1:
[C#m7] Are you getting [Bsus4]tired?
[C#m7] I think we’v[Bsus4]e gone and lost the fire
[F#7sus4] But I don’t [Asus2]wanna fight anymore
[F#7sus4] I’ve had e[Bsus4]nough of[Cm7] this town
I can see the signs
And I can read between the lines
But I don’t know what we were fighting for
I’m just trying, to break out
Chorus:
[C#m7] I’ve been waiting for something
[Asus2] I’ve been sitting for too long
[Bsus4] I’ve been waiting but, oh, tonight
This [Cm7]one last try goes on and on and on (x2)
Verse 2:
You put your nets out
But still you chose to do without
The only way to catch the butterfly
Is never waiting for the wings and
As seasons bring change
And as the seconds fade away
I still don’t know why we were holding on
But I’m still trying to break out
Chorus:
I’ve been waiting for something
I’ve been sitting for too long
I’ve been waiting but, oh, tonight
This one last try goes on and on and on (x2)
Bridge:
[Asus2] Should've [F#7sus4]known better than to listen
[C#m7] When the dreams a[Em7]nd the words started falling apart
[Asus2] Should've known [F#7sus4]I would've hit the ground running
[C#m7] [Bsus4] [F#7sus4]
Di[Asus2]d you think [F#7sus4]that the night would posses us?
[C#m7]Take us over like th[Em7]e rain that’s falling down?
[Asus2]Did you notice [F#7sus4]when the clock stopped running?
[C#m7] [Bsus4] [F#7sus4] Running
[C#m7] [Bsus4] [F#7sus4] Running
[C#m7] [Bsus4] [F#7sus4] Running
[Asus2]
Verse 3:
This is the countdown
You see our time is running out
I tread to stay above the waterline
but never taking off the weights that
Keep us stuck here
In the comfort, and the fear
I’ll never know what we were fighting for
but I’m still looking to break out
Chorus:
I’ve been waiting for something
I’ve been sitting for too long
I’ve been waiting but, oh, tonight
This one last try goes on and on and on (x2)
