# a little incomplete, but sounds okay to me
capo 1
chords:  D   A   F#m  E  
AWaited up, waited up, waited up all night
The Esky filling up your Dmind
Like Esmoke in some obscure Ddesign
Here's another thing
AYou never said, never said, never said anything Enew
Not a word that Dfall
But Esometimes nothing says it Dall
It's one of those things
How could you ever ask for Emore?
What are you looking for?
D A
You said you wanted to get F#maway
Now you're Eleaving your cares Dbehind
ATomorrow turned into F#myesterday
EWhy'd you take your Dtime?
A F#m E
AOpened your, opened your, opened your eyes
And the Eocean slipped through the Dfloor
When you Ewoke up along the Dshore
Forget everything
AYou never knew, never knew, never knew that
The Ecity could create such Dcalm
EHolding you upon its Dpalm
Just a little thing
How could you ever ask for Emore?
What are you looking for?
D A
You said you wanted to get F#maway
Now you're Eleaving your cares Dbehind
ATomorrow turned into F#myesterday
EWhy'd you take your Dtime?
A F#m E
D A F#m E
DHow could you eAver ask for F#mmore?E  
What are you looking for?
D A
You said you wanted to get F#maway
Now you're Eleaving your cares Dbehind
ATomorrow turned into F#myesterday
EWhy'd you take your Dtime?
Why'd you take your time?
Just a little thing
