F#Waiting around for the Emaj7first breath of spring
F#Nobody else seems to Emaj7care
She G#m7waits patiently for the knowledge that she will
Have Eso much to give to Bbsomeone
Waiting around for the knock at the door
Gentleman callers beware
Hoping to see all the flowers and candy he’s offered her
In every dream she’s ever had, 
D#mMmmmmF#mmmD#mmmmmmF#m
She don’t G#mind all the waiting around for D#msomeone to come along
G#Knows she’s about to be found beBbfore too long
Waiting around for the first breath of spring
She never noticed the snow on the ground
Spring never made it, somebody delayed it
For Eher again and the D#myear before and the year before
And the year before, And the year before
