Verse 1:
D MajorD          B minorBm
Reasons to call include
D MajorD        G+G
Going after the kill
D MajorD          B minorBm
I watched as love ensued
   B minorBm             G+G
And I lost every ounce of my own free will
G+G            A augmentedA            B minorBm
I see your mouth it's a healthy shade of pink
    G+G            A augmentedA               B minorBm        A augmentedA    G+G
But it’s only time that is keeping our bodies from sinking into the ground

Chorus:
G+G         D MajorD       G+G            D MajorD
What are we waiting for oh what are we waiting for

Verse 2:
D MajorD        B minorBm    D MajorD      G+G
I am a lot like you I see beauty in all
      D MajorD          Bm7Bm7
But how long can we hold onto
    B minorBm           G+G
This feeling we had just before the fall
G+G            A augmentedA             B minorBm
You be the hero and i'll be the victim you save
    G+G                 A augmentedA
And we'll come full circle when I find myself
    B minorBm     A augmentedA      G+G
Singing songs to you in your grave

Chorus:
G+G         D MajorD       G+G            D MajorD
What are we waiting for oh what are we waiting

Bridge:
G+G        B minorBm
I'm no good inside this mess
     E MajorE                  G+G
I'm a wild-eyed romantic and I'm drowning in my carelessness
G+G                      B minorBm
And even when I'm with you and we're dreaming our big dreams
   E MajorE                     G minorGm
I'm stuck somewhere between my two most dangerous extremes

Chorus:
    G+G            D MajorD         G+G         E7E7   E MajorE
Oh what are we waiting for oh what are we waiting for

Oh what are we waiting for
