world
Verse 2: Arpeggios start and chords change
Ab Cm Gm
I'm ringing the old church bell

I guess you're in Heaven now
And you're never comin'
Ab Cm Gm
home
[Chorus]
Ab Cm Gm
'Cause even when I'm wide awake, I know

If nothing's ever gonna change at all
I'll be waitin' on the

world, Go

Conditional words, I swear
See the people come and
Ab Cm Gm
go, and they go so well
Ab Cm Gm
They countin' the coins back there
It's the only thing they
Ab Cm Gm
know
Ab Cm Gm
And even when you're down and out, I know
Ab Cm Gm
That you'll be up in higher ground for sure
Ab Cm Gm
If nothing's ever gonna change at all
I'll be waitin' on the
Ab Cm Gm
world
I'll be waitin' on the
Ab Cm Gm
world, Go

Ab Cm Gm
I'm on a rock somewhere
And I've been lookin' at my
Ab Cm Gm
phone, baby, I'm not scared
Ab Cm Gm
I guess I'm alone, my friend
You left me waitin' on the
Ab Cm Gm
world
I'll be waitin' on the
Ab Cm Gm
world
I originally thought most of this should be Ab Eb and Bb
but you can hear the synth outlining these chords instead.
It's likely that both chords are being used at the same time,
but you can substitute most chords for their major/minor partners
and it still works. Happy practicing!
