The last two chords can be left out of the chorus and just
the Em played but it sounds better when just playing acoustic.
In the verses, play the bass note of the chord for two beats then strum the
higher strings of the chord. That will make sense if you've heard the song,
Intro
Em C Em C
Verse
WaEmiting at the station.
WaCiting for the right moves.
WaEmiting in the basement.
WaCiting for the right cues.  
WaAmiting in a daydream.
WaCiting in this slipstream.
Waiting...
Em C
WaCiting in the right bars.
WaEmiting in the right shoes.
WaCiting in a fast car.
WaAmiting in the airports,
waCiting for my air-miles.
WaAmiting in slow motion,
coCming through the turnstiles...
Chorus
And Emif you Em/F#ever chEm/Gange you Cmind,

And Emif you Em/F#ever neEm/Ged someoCne,
I'll Emstill be waiting...
WaiCting with the orphans.
WaEmiting for the bee stings,
thCey tell me that success brings.
WaAmiting in the half-light.
WaCiting through your whole life.
WaAmiting for an ideal, a low deal, a no deal.
PlCay your stereotype,  oh yeah...
