I am so accommodating, always waiting, waiting, waiting
FF     C majorC       G+G   G+G
trying to look very wise.

Should I hurry, hurry, hurry, or just worry, worry, worry
F*        F*        Gsus4Gsus4   G+G
and stay behind while others catch the prize?

Verse 1:
  E minorEm       FF      C majorC    G+G
I'm sleepless in a cheap dress feeling kinda small
E minorEm       FF    C majorC     G+G
waiting for the rain to fall – to fall.
  E minorEm       FF      C majorC      G+G
I'm still afraid of daring, so, please don’t call
E minorEm       FF       C majorC  G+G   G+G   G+G   G+G
I'm sitting in the corner like a rag doll.

Chorus 2:
   FF     C majorC       G+G         A minorAm
I am always hesitating, always waiting, waiting, waiting
FF         C majorC        G+G   G+G
waiting for those blue, blue skies.
    FF       C majorC       G+G       A minorAm
But the sky look so gigantic that I panic, panic, panic
  FF       FF         Gsus4Gsus4 G+G  (FF)
to wonder what befalls the one who tries – and tries.

Verse 2:
     E minorEm        FF    C majorC      G+G
Now
I'm cheerful but I'm fearful of the long haul
E minorEm         FF       C majorC   G+G
will my long, long path end in a brick wall.
   E minorEm      FF       C majorC   G+G
I am burning to be learning just how to crawl
  E minorEm      FF       C majorC   G+G   G+G   G+G   G+G
to roll with the punches like a beach ball.

Chorus 3:
  FF       C majorC       G+G          A minorAm
I removed my armor plating, cause I’m getting tired of waiting
    FF     C majorC    G+G   G+G
and my soul can't feed on sighs.
  FF       C majorC       G+G       A minorAm
The sun is rising higher, like a golden ball of fire
  FF       FF        Gsus4Gsus4 G+G    (FF)
and lighting up my dreams before my eyes – before my eyes.

Verse 3:
     E minorEm       FF     C majorC    G+G
Now
I'm restless in my best dress walking tall
E minorEm       FF     C majorC    G+G
the breezes are all whispering  “last call”.
 E minorEm       FF    C majorC    G+G
Unsteady but I'm ready, because I recall
E minorEm      FF      C*    G+G   G+G   G+G   G+G
times when I never really tried at all.

End-Chorus:
    FF       C majorC        G+G         A minorAm
Oh, my heart is palpitating, no more waiting, waiting, waiting
FF    C majorC    G+G   G+G
the ground beneath me cries.
    FF       C majorC       G+G      A minorAm
Better hurry, hurry, hurry
I'll be leaving in a flurry.
  FF       FF      Gsus4Gsus4 G+G  (FF)
Who wises up soon rises up and flies – oh, flies.
