A D C#m E

[ALL IN] x2

[VERSE]

A B D E A B E E

When we started we thought we were great Tho' nobody else agreed

A B D E A B E E

Just you and I wasting our time Playing and singing out of key

D E A A

And they said we played too loud 'Cause we didn't play for their crowd

D E A

But we just told them 'Wait and see'

A D C#m E

[VERSE]

A B D E A B E E

We had no money but still we went on, trying to get some gear

A B D E A B E E

A smashed-up cymbal and an old snare drum, our financial state was clear

D E A A

And they said we should give up, Said we didn't have a hope

D E A

And we still told them 'Wait and see'

A D C#m E

[VERSE]

A B D E A B E E

We worked harder got better in every way, Got some other friends involved

A B D E A B E E

Pretty soon we found we knew how to play, We'd got all our problems solved

D E A A

But I swear to this day, I could see you drifting away

D E A

But I told myself 'Wait and see'

A D C#m E

A [build up]

G D A A

Then came the day you said goodbye,

G D A A

We tried to smile but had to cry

G D A G D A

You knew that you'd be missed But we wished you all the best

G D A A

But still we wished that you would stay

A B D E A B E E

'Til then you were a part of everything And everything that might have been

A B D E A B E E

And now that everything has turned into what is If you'd have waited you'd have seen

D E A A

But you gave yourself the sack Now there's no turning back

D E A

Now all you future's 'Wait and see'

A D C#m E

[REGGAE FEEL]

You're not good enough, You're not good enough

You're not good enough to be a dance band

They told us

But we're not giving up, We're not giving up

We're not giving up

We'll show them
