4/4 section:

-notes in parenthesis are only played sometimes
-there is a lot of room for subtle variation in these riffs (like including the 3rd)
-F#m means only play the first half of the riff
[3/4]
[Em]
[Em]why don't you ask me how long i've been waiting
sat d[Em]own on the road with the gunshots exploding
i'm w[F#m]aiting for you, in the gloom and the blazing
F#m
i'm waiting for you
i s[Em]ing like a slave, i know i should know better
i've learned all my lessons right down to the letter
and s[F#m]till i go on like this year after year
(strum F#m 4 times)
waiting for miracles and shaking......
(change to 4/4) Em7
............with fear
[Em7]why don't you answer, why don't you come save me
show me how to use all these things that you gave me
[F#m7]turn me inside out so my bones can save me
F#m7
turn me inside out
[Em7]you've come this close, you can come even closer
the gunshots get louder and the world spins faster
and t[F#m7]hings just get further and further apart
the head from the hands and the hands from my h[Em7]eart
one thing that's true is the way that i love him
the earth down below and the sky up above him
[F#m7]and still i go on like this day after day
still i go on like this
[Em7] [F#m7]
[Em7]now i've said this, i already feel stronger
i can't keep waiting for you any longer
[F#m7]i need you now, not someday when i'm ready
come down on the road, come down on the r[Em7]oad
[F#m7] [Em7] [F#m7]
[Em7]my name, my name
nothing is
nothing is the [F#m7]same
and i won't go back the way i c[Em7]ame
my name, my name
nothing is the [F#m7]same
