BbFor so Clong I have Dmwaited

Of Bbperson to Cjust give Fin
[Verse 1:]
           Dm-       C  Gm  
I want to run just as fast I came in
I want to Dmhave the chance
To Cflee the scene
And Bbto find peace
Oh, it’s so Dmhard to find reClief
For this eGmxcess sensitivity
To the Dmcrimes that have been
CoCmmitted against Bbothers, not Conly me
[Chorus:]
DmHow long must I wait
Until BbI’m at peace again?
And Dmhow long must I wait
Until BbI am Cwhole again?
And Dmhow long must I wait
Until BbI am at peace again?
And Dmhow long must I wait
To Bbsee your Cface again?

And one foot in the grave

And one foot in the grave
FOne foot in the present day
And one foot in the grave

But, it’s your Bbgrace that gives us
The Fsecond chances that we Bbdon't deserve
And that we Gmtake for granted
But, Cit’s your Bbgrace that gives us
The Fsecond chances that we Bbdon't deserve
And that we Gmtake for granted
[Chorus:]
DmAnd how long must I wait
Until BbI’m at peace again?

To see your face again

Key: D Minor

[Intro:]

Bb C Dm

For so long I have waited

Bb C Dm

- -

For this sense of urgency

Bb C

For as long as I can remember

Dm C

I've always been the type

Bb C F

Of person to just give in

[Verse 1:]

Dm C Gm

I want to run just as fast I came in

I want to have the chance

To flee the scene

And to find peace

Dm C

Oh, it’s so hard to find relief

For this excess sensitivity

To the crimes that have been

C Bb C

Committed against others, not only me

[Chorus:]

How long must I wait

Until I’m at peace again?

And how long must I wait

Bb C

Until I am whole again?

And how long must I wait

Until I am at peace again?

And how long must I wait

Bb C

To see your face again?

[Bridge:]

I've got one foot in the present day

And one foot in the grave

One foot in the present day

And one foot in the grave

One foot in the present day

And one foot in the grave

[Verse 2:]

But, it’s your grace that gives us

F Bb

The second chances that we don't deserve

And that we take for granted

C Bb

But, it’s your grace that gives us

F Bb

The second chances that we don't deserve

And that we take for granted

[Chorus:]

And how long must I wait

Until I’m at peace again?

And how long must I wait

Bb C

Til I am whole again?

And how long must I wait

Until I’m at peace again?

And how long must I wait

[Outro:]

Bb C Bb Dm

To see your face again?

Bb Dm

To see your face again

Bb Dm

To see your face again

Bb Dm

To see your face again
