(intro) C5 A5 F5 G5

(verse 1)
C5          F5
I walk the line
              D5
Leave it all behind
            G5
I've been waiting forever
C5                 F5
Let's go back in time
                             D5
When I could read your mind
                G5
Still I've been waiting

(pre-chorus)
B5                     C5
It took the seasons going by
B5                  C5
To know it's not my fault

(chorus)
C5                A5                       F5
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
           G5                       C5
Tried to everything that you ever wanted
C5                A5                     F5
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
                  G5             C5
Tried to be everything but you

(verse 2)
C5             F5
It's been so long
                  D5
Since you've been home
          G5
I used to wait up forever
C5            F5
Used to say a prayer
                 D5
Wishing you were there
              G5
And I'm still waiting
C5          F5
You told me once

You'd show up
    D5
But I fell for that
       G5
Before I fell to pieces
       C5
Then I woke up
  F5
To no one,
       D5
Just a picture of Jesus
      G5
And a house left in pieces

(bridge)
A5
I wanted you
E5
I need you
C5        D5
I want to believe you
A5
I wanted you
E5
I need you
C5        D5
I want to believe you
C5                A5                       F5
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
                  G5
Tried to be everything but you
