Intro: Em
Em
Baby, I've been waiting
D Em
I've been waiting night and day
Em
I didn't see the time
D Em
I waited half my life away
D
There were lots of invitations
Cdim B
And I know you sent me some
Em D
But I was waiting
C D Cdim B Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
Em
I know you really loved me
D Em
But, you see, my hands were tied
Em
I know it must have hurt you
D Em
It must have hurt your pride
D
To have to stand beneath my window
Cdim B
With your bugle and your drum
Em D
And me I'm up there waiting
C D Cdim B Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
Em
Ah I don't believe you'd like it
D Em
You wouldn't like it here
Em
There ain't no entertainment
D Em
And the judgements are severe
D
The Maestro says it's Mozart
Cdim B
But it sounds like bubble gum
Em D
When you're waiting
C D Cdim B Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
Am
Waiting for the miracle
Em
There's nothing left to do
B
I haven't been this happy
Em
Since the end of World War II
Am
Nothing left to do
Am
When you know that you've been taken
Em
Nothing left to do
Em
When you're begging for a crumb
C
Nothing left to do
C
When you've got to go on waiting
Cdim B
Waiting for the miracle to come
Em
Yeah I dreamed about you, baby
D Em
It was just the other night
Em
Most of you was naked
D Em
Ah but some of you was light
D
The sands of time were falling
Cdim B
From your fingers and your thumb
Em D
And you were waiting
C D Cdim B Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
Em
Ah baby, let's get married
D Em
We've been alone too long
Em
Let's be alone together
D Em
Let's see if we're that strong
D
Yeah let's do something crazy
Cdim B
Something absolutely wrong
Em D
While we're waiting
C D Cdim B Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
Am
Nothing left to do

When you know that you've been taken

When you've got to go on waiting

Waiting for the miracle to come
Em
When you've fallen on the highway
D Em
And you're lying in the rain
Em
And they ask you how you're doing
D Em
Of course you say you can't complain
D
If you're squeezed for information
Cdim B
That's when you've got to play it dumb
Em D
You just say you're out there waiting

For the miracle, for the miracle to come
