Chorus 1:
     F         C              G                 Am
I am so accommodating, always waiting, waiting, waiting
F         C              G     G
trying to look very wise.
         F             C              G             Am*
Should I hurry, hurry, hurry, or just worry, worry, worry
F*                F*               Gsus4      G
and stay behind while others catch the prize?

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

Chorus 2:
     F          C              G                 Am
I am always hesitating, always waiting, waiting, waiting
F                 C               G     G
waiting for those blue, blue skies.
        F             C             G             Am
But the sky look so gigantic that I panic, panic, panic
   F             F                 Gsus4 G   (F)
to wonder what befalls the one who tries – and tries.

Interlude:
| F             | C             | G             | G             |

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

Chorus 3:
    F              C              G                    Am
I removed my armor plating, cause I’m getting tired of waiting
       F          C       G     G
and my soul can't feed on sighs.
    F             C              G              Am
The sun is rising higher, like a golden ball of fire
    F              F                Gsus4 G        (F)
and lighting up my dreams before my eyes – before my eyes.

Interlude:

| F             | C             | G             | G*            |

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

End-Chorus:
       F             C               G                 Am
Oh, my heart is palpitating, no more waiting, waiting, waiting
F        C        G     G
the ground beneath me cries.
       F             C              G            Am
Better hurry, hurry, hurry
I'll be leaving in a flurry.
    F             F            Gsus4 G   (F)
Who wises up soon rises up and flies – oh, flies.

Interlude:
| F             | C             | G             | G             |
| F             | C             | G             | G             |
| F             | C             | G             | G             |

Outro:
     F*        C*                           G*                Am*
I am so accommodating, but I’m through with waiting, waiting, waiting.
