 Waiting around for a miracle   looking at me for a clue

G           A              Bm       G   D             A
 I'm moving on if it's the same to you   too late for me

               D     Bm      F#  F#7               Bm
 too late for you     On and on changing like the weather

            G              D            A
 close your eyes  no surprise is in store  (Riff 1)

 F#m                      G
 Look me straight in the eye (Riff 1)

 F#m                    G
 when you tell me that lie   (Riff 1)

 F#m                  G                     A
 I can't have it though  I can't take it no over and over again
