chords transposed by David Martin


Verse 1:
    C majorC         G+G
I can't tell you what it means
     D MajorD          E minorEm
When you are here, I am at ease
    C majorC           G+G
I don't blame you when you'??re gone
   D MajorD        E minorEm
For the sadness in my song

C majorC             G+G
That weight is mine alone, that shadow is my own
D MajorD F# minorF#m        E minorEm
The coast is never clear
C majorC              G+G
I'll wait for morning though, you will arrive
     D MajorD            E minorEm
So we can watch that shadow disappear

Chorus:
   C majorC      G+G      D MajorD      G+G
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
       C majorC     E minorEm
Some say I'??m a fool for waiting
           G+G      C majorC
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind

      G+G     C majorC
They tell me ??Give it up
        G+G     E minorEm
But I won'??t ever give it up


Verse 2:
    C majorC           G+G
Because when the night does fade
   D MajorD           E minorEm
I'??m alive in the strangest way
   C majorC           G+G
Those first few cracks of dawn
   D MajorD          E minorEm
Are a taste of what's to come

C majorC          G+G
And yes I hum and haw about nothing at all
D MajorD F# minorF#m     E minorEm
I get lost in fear
C majorC             G+G             D MajorD
But no thief or act of god could take this grin I'??ve got
         E minorEm
I know you will be here

Chorus:
     C majorC       G+G       D MajorD     G+G
And if you try to be with me, I will try to get by
       C majorC     E minorEm
Some say I'??m a fool for waiting
           G+G      C majorC
They don't know, this fool doesn'??t mind

      G+G     C majorC
They tell me Give it up?
      G+G      E minorEm
But I won'??t ever give it up


Bridge:

Ah, they tell me
C majorC
So what she'??s in your head?
D MajorD
She'??s gonna leave again?
E minorEm
What's gonna happen then?
G+G
She's just enabling
C majorC
And there is truth to that
D MajorD
But I ain't holding back
E minorEm     G+G
If you try, try, try


Chorus:

They don'??t know, this fool doesn't mind...

    C majorC       G+G     D MajorD     G+G
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
        C majorC    E minorEm
Some say I'??m a fool for waiting
           G+G      C majorC
