Intro
Am F G
[Verso 1]
C
Are you comfortable?
Em
Do you feel secure?
Am
Seems these locks and chains,
Am
In broken frames,
G
What you prefer.
[Verso 2]
C
There's a reason,
Em
There's a life time of regret,
Am
There's a story,
Am
There's an answer,
G
It's one we've never met, no.
Am
And I'm impatient,
G
I'm the undertone,
F G
The wild that we re-grow,
[Refrão]
C
So what are you waiting for,
G
Singing sound of a locking door,
Am F G
We try to find the way from the street,
C
And everyone else sleeps past,
G
Don’t know where this war with time,
Am F G
Another lonely soldier in defeat,
Am Am
Looking for the reel.
[Verso 3]
C
I see your hand out,
Em
I'll give all that I can,
Am
Just the poor drawn conclusions,
G
Of a wayward broken man,
C
And I'm a fool,
Em
To leave these blood stains on the floor,
Am
Why the need to share our wounds,
G
Baby stranger through the door.
Am G
Here's a comfort that we never know,
F G
That of letting go.
[Refrão]
C
So what are you waiting for,
G
Singing sound of a locking door,
Am F G
We try to find the way from the street,
C
And everyone else sleeps past,
G
Don’t know where this war with time,
Am F G
Another lonely soldier in defeat,
F
Looking for a stepping stone,
F
I caught a tone,
G
A little piece to call my home,
F
Some company, synergy,
G G
A little fucking room to be . . ..
[Refrão]
C
So what are you waiting for,
G
Sing inside of a locking door,
Am
We try to find a way,
F G
From the street,
C
And everyone else steps past,
G G#m
On their way to foreign time,
Am F G C
Not the lonely soldier in defeat, oh ooh ooh ooooh,
G
Ooh ooh,
Am
Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
F G
Ooh ooh ooh
C
So what are you waiting for
G
The sickening sound of a locking?
Am
We'll try to find a way in.
