Capo: 4th fret
CI could tell you stories
CCould you teach me some more?
FI’ll tell you bout’ the countries
FYou’ve never been before
CI’ll go on forever
CForever in a day
FUntil you lose the interest
FRight then I walk away
AmSo I won’t let that happen
Not whilCe we’re living free
GI can be the poet
GYou can be the story
CYou can keep me grounded
CKeep me on my toes
FI’ll always be chasing you
FWherever you may go
CAnd if you slip ahead 
CAnd break away from us
FDon’t run out of sight
FI just might not catch up
AmBut I won’t let that happen
Not whilCe we’re having fun

BCiding my time, biding my Gtime
Waiting for you hereAm  
Biding my time hereF  
CWe can sit in silence

Capo: 4th fret

I could tell you stories

Could you teach me some more?

I’ll tell you bout’ the countries

You’ve never been before

I’ll go on forever

Forever in a day

Until you lose the interest

Right then I walk away

So I won’t let that happen

Not while we’re living free

I can be the poet

You can be the story

You can keep me grounded

Keep me on my toes

I’ll always be chasing you

Wherever you may go

And if you slip ahead

And break away from us

Don’t run out of sight

I just might not catch up

But I won’t let that happen

Not while we’re having fun

You can be the runner

I can be the gun

C G

I’ll be waiting for you here

When you come calling

I’ll be waiting

C G

Biding my time, biding my time

Waiting for you here

Biding my time here

We can sit in silence

I know that’s what you love

I learn to appreciate

The beauty from the love

And I can share my secrets

I’ve only sung before

You can choose to stand by me

Or simply to ignore

So I won’t let that happen

While we both belong

You can be the singer

And I can be the song

C G

I’ll be waiting for you here

When you come calling

I’ll be waiting

C G

Biding my time, biding my time

Waiting for you here

Biding my time here

Solo (Chorus)

I could tell you stories

Could you teach me some more?

I’ll tell you bout’ the countries

You’ve never been before

I’ll go on forever

Forever in a day

Until you lose the interest

Right then I walk away

So I won’t let that happen

While we both belong

You can be the singer

And I can be the song

C G

I’ll be waiting for you here

When you come calling

I’ll be waiting

C G

Biding my time, biding my time

Waiting for you here

Biding my time here

C G

Biding my time, biding my time

Waiting for you here

Biding my time here

C G

Biding my time, biding my time

Waiting for you here

Biding my time here
