Waiting For The Day chords by Erasure

Words and music by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell


Intro:
D        G
 Ooh oh whoa   Ooh oh whoa
D        G

          D
It was only for a fight
              G
That I asked you to come in
               A
But you brought me tumblin' down
              D
And the walls came caving in
              D
Won't you help me dry my tears
              G
Help me roll away the years
              A
Then perhaps I will forgive you
            D
And the hurt will disappear

           G
But in a fit of blind arrogance
      A        Asus4
You stood up and walked away
D         G
If you'd given me half a chance
     A
I'll be waiting for the day
          D
For the day that you
  Bm   D
Oh oh come back to me
         A G
Come on back to me
D  Bm   D
You oh come back to me

A G D G
             D
So forget the long goodbye
           G
You never really tried
               A
Threw the keys down on the table
               D
You've got your sense of pride
               D
Then you had to tell the world
            G
Your story must be heard
            A
Slammed the door behind you
           D
Without a single word

           G
But in a fit of blind arrogance
      A
You stood up and walked away
        D
The day that you
  Bm   D
Oh oh come back to me
         A G
Come on back to me
D  Bm    D               A G
You  oh come back to me, come on back to me
D  Bm     D     A G
You oh oh come back to me

Bb
You know I never had a single thought in my head, no I
D             Bb
Never had a single thought

[breakdown, no chords]

            D
Oh for the day that you
  Bm   D               A G
Oh oh come back to me, come on back to me
D  Bm     D               A G
You oh oh come back to me, come on back to me

D
You can be my lifelong friend
Bm
You can be the light of dawn
D
You can keep me close at hand
A        G
You can keep me safe and warm

D
I will be your fantasy
Bm
If you come and stay with me
D
I will try to give you all
A        G
Waiting for the night to fall

D
You can be the light of day
Bm
You can be my lifelong friend
D
You can keep me close at hand
A        G
Waiting for the day to end

D
I will be your fantasy
Bm
If you come and stay with me
D
I will try to give my all
A         G
Waiting for the night to fall
