Verse 1:
A           Asus4        A
  I've been waiting for answers
A           Asus4     A
  I've been waiting a long, long time
     Gbm                                E
If I open the door won't you come inside

Verse 2:
A            Asus4       A
  My heart's begging for mercy
A          Asus4       A
  How much longer can I sit still and be
Gbm                                 E
Hopeful and doubting and torn inside
A  Asus4 A
Oh

Chorus:
    D
And all this time
                         A        Asus4 A
I've been staring at the minute hand
   Bm
Oh what a crime
                     Gbm
That I can't seem to understand
     E              Bm
That life is in the waiting
  A  Asus4 A
Mmm

Verse 3:
A           Asus4      A
  I've been working on patience
A           Asus4        A
  Trying to trust in the timing
      Gbm                         E
Of my tiny existence, I come alive
A       Asus4        A
  I sat still in the twilight
A         Asus4        A
  I found peace in the quiet things
          Gbm                           E
How could I wish away all the in between
A  Asus4 A
Oh

Chorus:
    D
And all this time
                         A        Asus4 A
I've been staring at the minute hand
   Bm
Oh what a crime
                     Gbm
That I can't seem to understand
     E              Bm
That life is in the waiting
  A  Asus4 A
Mmm

Bridge:
    Bm7                             A
And I find there's no knowing of a right time
                             Bm7           A
No it could keep you waiting all night for it
   Bm7
So hold tight
                          A
Don't lose sleep over the half-life
                       Bm7
Know that everything is alright
             A  Asus4 A
Just like it is

Chorus:
    D
And all this time
                         A        Asus4 A
I've been staring at the minute hand
   Bm
Oh what a crime
                     Gbm
That I can't seem to understand
     E              Bm
That life is in the waiting
  A  Asus
Mmm

Outro:
A              Bm
Life is in the waiting
  A  Asus4 A
Mmm
