Love doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
  Em          C         G            D
And we keep loving anyway, we laugh and we cry and we break and we make our mistakes
  Em         C          G          D
And if there's a reason I'm by her side when so many have tried
          Em      C
Then I'm willing to wait for it
        D
I'm willing to wait for it

Just a legacy to protect

G           C                D
Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
Em          C        G            D

Em           C           G             D
And if there's a reason I'm still alive while everyone who loves me has died
        Em     C
I'm willing to wait for it

I'm willing to wait for it

Em      C

And he keeps winning anyway, changes the game he plays and he raises the stakes

        Em     C
I'm willing to wait for it
        G
I'm willing to wait for it

Em          C                G          D
Life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes

We keep living anyway, we rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes
  Em         C           G         D
