G Em D C
1. The perfect words never crossed my mind,
G Em D
- C
‘cause
there was nothing in there but you.
G Em D C
I felt every ounce of me
screaming out,
G Em D - C
but
the sound was trapped deep in me.
G
Em
D C
2. All I wanted just spurred right past me,
G Em D
- C
while
I was rooted fast to the earth,
G Em D C
I could be stuck here for a
thousand years,
G Em D
- C
without
your arms to drag me out.
G - Em D C
There you are standing right in front of me,
G - Em
D C
there
you are standing right in front
of me.
G - Em D C
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
G - Em D C
hold
me close ‘cause I need you to guide me to safety.
G Em Bm C - G
Em
Bm C
No, I won't wait forever, no, I won't wait forever.
G Em D
C
3. In the confusion and the aftermath,
G Em
D - C
you
are my signal fire,
G Em D C
The only resolution and the
only joy,
G Em
D - C
is
the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes.
G - Em D C
There you are standing right in front of me,
G - Em D C
there
you are standing right in front
of me.
G - Em D C
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
G - Em D C
hold
me close ‘cause I need you to
guide me to safety.
+ G - Em - D - C (2x)
+ CHORUS
G Em Bm C
- G Em Bm C
No, I won't wait forever, no, I won't wait forever.
G Em Bm C
No, I won't wait forever.
