I'm waiting for that final moment you say the words that I can't say
F G
Every time I think of you
Em F
I get a shot right through into a bolt of blue
F G
It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find
Em F
Living a life that I can't leave behind
F G
There's no sense in telling me
Em F
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
F G
But that's the way that it goes and it's what nobody knows
Em G
And every day my confusion grows
<Chorus>
F G
Every time I see you falling
Em F
I get down on my knees and pray
F G
I'm waiting for that final moment
Em F
You say the words that I can't say
Repeat <Intro>
F G
I feel fine and I feel good
Em F
I feel like I never should
F G
Whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say
Em F
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
F G
I'm not sure what this could mean
Em F
I don't think you're what you seem
F G
I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else
Em F
Then I'd never see just what we're meant be
<Chorus>
