[Verse 1]
CTear back the curtain, tFhere’s nothing to see inside
CIf you want your freedom, iFt’s your free will to hide
CI sit there in the Fcorner, hailing for a Amride.
CStaring out the wFindow, wishing you could Amdie.
[Chorus]
CWe’re only Gwaiting Ffor someone Emelse
CWe’re only Gwaiting Ffor someone else tAmo blame
[Verse 2]
CI look at myself and I see Fnothing that I like
CCrowds don’t make me happy, Falone I don’t feel right
CSo hold back the punches, Fthere’s no one left to Amfight.
CTurn to look around you, Fthere’s no one by your Amside
[Chorus]
CWe’re only Gwaiting Ffor someone Emelse
CWe’re only Gwaiting Ffor someone else tAmo blame
[Verse 3]
CThe weight on your shouldersF, will drag you down
CYou could try much harder, Fbut I know you won’t.
COh, I tear back the curtaFin, there’s nothing to seAme inside
CIf you want your freedom, Fit’s your free will to Amhide
C‘Cos you could sit there wFaiting, for rain to turn tAmo wine
CAnd go on even better, I Fthink i’m quite alrAmight
[Chorus]
CWe’re only Gwaiting Ffor someone Emelse
CWe’re only Gwaiting Ffor someone Emelse
CWe’re only Gwaiting Ffor someone else tAmo blame
