Intro: While she lays sleeping I stay out late at night and sing my songs And sometimes all the nights can be so long And it's good when I finally make it home All alone While she lays dreaming I try to get undressed without the light Then she quietly says how was your night And I come to her and say it was all right - And I hold her tight Chorus G4sus And she believes in me G4sus I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl I could change the world with my little songs D4sus I was wrong G4sus But she has faith in me G4sus And so I go on trying faithfully And who knows, maybe on some special night If my song is right I will find a way Find a way While she lays waiting I stumble to the kitchen for a bite Then I see my old guitar in the night Just waiting for me like a secret friend And there's no end While she lies crying I fumble with a melody or two Then I'm torn between the things that I should do Then she says to wake her up when I am through God her love is true Chorus While she waits, while she waits for me
