Verse 
       G                 D 
I been thinking and been hummin' 
       G                 C

     G        D            G    C G 
Just waiting, waiting on a song 
       G                   D 
I been hitching and I been thumbin' 
      G               C 
I can almost hear one coming

I'm just waiting, waiting on a song 


[Refrão]
  C 
I looked down in my pocket 
G 
Underneath the bed 
       C 
Walked under the lamp post 
        G             D 
And one hit me on the head 

Verse 
     G                    D 
Am I blind or too dumb to see 
        G                 C 
All the sound surrounding me? 
         G        D            G    C G 
I'm just waiting, waiting on a song 

        G              D 
You can look up at the stars 
         G                  C 
Bow your head and count the cars 
                G        D            G    C G 
You'll still be waiting, waiting on a song 
           G              D 
Might be a blue bird or a crow 
     G                C 
On a cord between two poles 
             G        D            G    C G 
They're just waiting, waiting on a song

C 
Songs don't grow on trees 
          G 
You gotta pick em' out the breeze 
C 
Fall down on your knees 
    G              D 
And pray one comes along 

Verse 
           G                   D 
When those railroad gates come down 
          G             C 
You gotta stop and turn around 
             G        D            G    C G 
Or you'll be waiting, waiting on a song
