D


[Verse 1]
G                  D
I can't take it no more
D                                Bm   Em
Feels like I've been through the wars
            G
And if you aren't the goal
          Em            D
Then what are you at all?

D
I'm falling slowly
    Em            Bm
So slowly, no one can see
                    G
That I'm finding it hard to breathe
                           Em D
'Cause you'll be the death of me


[Chorus]
              Bm       A             D
And why do we wait for those who are never there?
          Bm          A         D
Why do we suffer for those who never care?
         Bm             A   D     Em
Why do I wait, why do I wait  for you?


[Verse 2]
    G              D
And I'm down on my knees
              Em    Bm
Hoping you'll understand
               G
That where I'm going
             Em        D
I can't come back from that

    G            D
And raising your voice
           G                    Bm
Well, that won't change a thing now
                    G
'Cause I've made my choice
                Em     D
I'm, I'm better off alone


[Chorus]
              Bm       A             D
And why do we wait for those who are never there?
          Bm          A         D
Why do we suffer for those who never care?
         Bm             A   D     Em
Why do I wait, why do I wait  for you?
         Bm             A   D     Em
Why do I wait, why do I wait  for you?


[Post-Chorus]
        Bm              E    A
And I'm hoping that I'm wrong
             Bm          A
And someday, we'll carry on


[Bridge]
Bm
  Can't escape it
A
  Won't fix it later
G                 A
  Another day to carry on
Bm
  We can't escape it

A
  We won't fix it later
G               A
  Just another day


[Chorus]
              Bm       A             D
And why do we wait for those who are never there?
          Bm          A         D
Why do we suffer for those who never care?
         Bm             A   D     Em
Why do I wait, why do I wait  for you?
         Bm           A   D   Em
Why do I wait, why do I
         Bm             A   D      Em  Em  Em  D  D  Em  Bm
Why do I wait, why do I wait  for you?
