Intro:

G C Em D

I'll wait for something under a streetlight

G C Em D

It won't be long because

G C Em D

It's dark, it's cold it's one of those nights where

G C Em D

Something out there keeps me alive

C D

But I don't know where to go

G D Em

So I think I'll sit and stay here a while

Am C D

Till I figure it out

G D Em C

So let the wind blow us

G D

To wherever it says

Em C

We are supposed to go

G D Em C

G C Em

When you want something but can't name it

It's under a streetlight

G C Em

It's something you've never seen before

Open the door

G C Em

It's something you've always been afraid of

It's under a streetlight

G C Em D

And now all you want is more

But I don't know where to go

So I think I'll sit and stay here a while

Till I figure it out

So let the wind blow us

To wherever it says

We are supposed to go

Em C G D

I don't mind the wait it's fine

Em C

As long as you know

G D

It's the wait that could be the something

G D C Em

But I don't know where to go

So I think I'll sit and stay here a while

Till I figure it out

So let the wind blow us

To wherever it says

We are supposed to go
