Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
Am Dm F C E
Am Dm F C E   C and E only half a bar

Verse:
Am                   Dm
Holding out for the right time
             F               C  E
What if the right time never arrives?
Am                     Dm
Always waiting on the sidelines
            F
When is it my time
           C           E
To be the one, the one, the one?

Am                   Dm
Holding out for the right time
          F                C   E
My whole lifetime slowly goes by
Am                      Dm
Always waiting on the sidelines
            F
When is it my time
           C           E
To be the one, the one, the one?


Pre-Chorus:
C*              Dm*    Em*
What are you doing tonight?
     F*

Right now, right now, right now


Chorus:
G  G/C  Dm C F

Verse:
            G                 G/C  Dm
All that's happened filling up my days
            C                   F
All that's coming up, so far away
        G                     G/C  Dm
In between, I'm always holding out
     C                   F
Am I ever gonna be here now?

All that's coming up, so far away

That second lifetime never arrives
Am                     Dm
Always waiting for perfection
         F                 C
Where affection cannot be won
       E
Be won, be won


Am                    Dm
Holding out for the right time
