C Em
Every day I have to choose
Am F
To raise the dead or wear my dancing shoes
C Em
Itâ??s hard to think when I can't keep track
Am F Am
Of where my life is â?? oh I want it back
F Am F
At night I sleep alone â?? I'm losing light but time goes so slow
C Em
How long will you take
Am F
Cause I've been waiting here for you
C Em
And will you try to come my way
Am F C
Cause I've been waiting here - I'm waiting here for you

Everyday I have to wait
Am F
Until the night to make the same mistakes
C Em
I'm holding on when you're holding me
Am F Am
But when you're gone I need it desperately
F Am F
You always right my wrong â?? I lose your light but time moves so slow
C Em
How long will you take
Am F
Cause I've been waiting here for you

And will you try to come my way

Cause I've been waiting here - I'm waiting here for you
Am F Am F
Now I finally know â?? We're running out of time
Am F Am F
Now I finally know â?? We'll make it out alive

Oh at night I sleep alone â?? I'm losing light but time moves so slow
F
So slow

How long will you take

And will you try to come my way
Am F
Cause I've been waiting here - I'm waiting here for you
