[Verse 1]
DI've been running Aout of
My 70 Gexcuses
There comes a point when Bmpatience
Can't Atake all these aDbuses
Now my reserves are Aempty
I'm feeling kind of Glow
Because when do you fight for Bmsomeone
And Awhen do you let 'em Emgo
The other day I Gthought I saw you on a magaEmzine
Your stubborn nose preBmtending to beAlong to the maDchine
[Chorus]
DI've been waiting Afor you to come to your Gsenses
Holding up your Bmheavy heart, Adown there in the Dtrenches
You don't have to Acarry that weight all by yourGself
Even you the Bmmercenary Acould use a Dlittle help
You've got your Agun, your bulletproof Gpride
You never Bmrun, but you sure Aknow how to Dhide
 DOh-oh-Aoh  Oh-oh-Goh Oh-oh-BmooohA  D  
[Verse 2]
DMy friend said he had Aseen you
At a movie Gtheatre
You looked just as you had Bmalways
Didn't Aask about me Deither
I won't say life ends withAout you
But you're the only Ganswer
You got me like a Bmthief
You Agot me with my Emhands up
The other day I Gthought I saw you on a magaEmzine
Your stubborn nose preBmtending to beAlong to the maDchine
[Chorus]
DI've been waiting Afor you to come to your Gsenses
Holding up your Bmheavy heart, Adown there in the Dtrenches
You don't have to Acarry that weight all by yourGself
Even you the Bmmercenary Acould use a Dlittle help
You've got your Agun, your bulletproof Gpride
You never Bmrun, but you sure Aknow how to Dhide
 DOh-oh-Aoh  Oh-oh-Goh Oh-oh-BmooohA  
[Bridge]
AYeah,    Gsay  something nAow
YeahBm,    bAe safe Emnow
 EmYour wish  is         Gfalling        before    you
            (There's a faith, there's a faith in my heart)
   The Dstars      are       frustrating
(going days won't stop, when I feel that I'm still)
You'll Aalways     win    the       waiting
(in the beat of your soul, when you talk, when you write)
When you Gweave and you flow
And you Gleave and you stay
Only Awaiting is left
Now I'm kneeling around in the Dcold
[Chorus]
DI've been waiting Afor you to come to your Gsenses
Holding up your Bmheavy heart, Adown there in the Dtrenches
You don't have to Acarry that weight all by yourGself
Even you the Bmmercenary Acould use a Dlittle help
You've got your Agun, your bulletproof Gpride
You never Bmrun, but you sure Aknow how to Dhide

[Verse 1]

D A

I've been running out of

My 70 excuses

There comes a point when patience

Can't take all these abuses

Now my reserves are empty

I'm feeling kind of low

Because when do you fight for someone

And when do you let 'em go

The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine

Bm A D

Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine

[Chorus]

D A G

I've been waiting for you to come to your senses

Bm A D

Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches

A G

You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself

Bm A D

Even you the mercenary could use a little help

A G

You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride

Bm A D

You never run, but you sure know how to hide

D A G Bm A D

Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oooh

[Verse 2]

D A

My friend said he had seen you

At a movie theatre

You looked just as you had always

Didn't ask about me either

I won't say life ends without you

But you're the only answer

You got me like a thief

A Em

You got me with my hands up

G Em

The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine

Bm A D

Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine

Your wish is falling before you

(There's a faith, there's a faith in my heart)

The stars are frustrating

You'll always win the waiting

(in the beat of your soul, when you talk, when you write)

When you weave and you flow

And you leave and you stay

Only waiting is left

Now I'm kneeling around in the cold

[Chorus]
