IntroEm   


[Verso 1]
Em 
Baby, I've been waiting 
D                            Em 
I've been waiting night and day 
I didn't see the time 
D                 Em 
I waited half my life away 
            D 
There were lots of invitations 
                        Eb7(5-)   B7 
And I know you sent me some 
           Em    D 
But I was waiting 
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em 
For the miracle, for the miracle to come 


[Verso 2]
Em 
I know you really loved me 
         D                  Em 
But, you see, my hands were tied 

I know it must have hurt you 
   D                 Em 
It must have hurt your pride 
            D 
To have to stand beneath my window 
                         Eb7(5-)  B7 
With your bugle and your drum 
                   Em      D 
And me I'm up there waiting 
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em 
For the miracle, for the miracle to come 


[Verso 3]
Em 
Ah I don't believe you'd like it 
    D                  Em 
You wouldn't like it here 

There ain't no entertainment 
        D                Em 
And the judgments are severe 
    D 
The Maestro says it's Mozart 
                         Eb7(5-)   B7 
But it sounds like bubble gum 
            Em  D 
When you're waiting 
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em 
For the miracle, for the miracle to come 


[Ponte]
  Am 
Waiting for the miracle 
         Em 
There's nothing left to do 
B7 
I haven't been this happy 
          Em 
Since the end of World War II 
                 Am 
Nothing left to do 

When you know that you've been taken 
                 Em 
Nothing left to do 

When you're begging for a crumb 
                 C 
Nothing left to do 

When you've got to go on waiting 
 Eb7(5-)                       B 
Waiting for the miracle to come 


[Verso 4]
Em 
Yeah I dreamed about you, baby 
D                        Em 
It was just the other night 

Most of you was naked 
       D                Em 
Ah but some of you was light 
    D 
The sands of time were falling 
                           Eb7(5-)   B7 
From your fingers and your thumb 
             Em  D 
And you were waiting 
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em 
For the miracle, for the miracle to come 


[Verso 5]
Em 
Ah baby, let's get married 
D                     Em 
We've been alone too long 
Let's be alone together 
       D                Em 
Let's see if we're that strong 
     D 
Yeah let's do something crazy 
                     Eb7(5-)   B7 
Something absolutely wrong 
            Em  D 
While we're waiting 
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em 
For the miracle, for the miracle to come 

 
[Ponte]
                Am 
Nothing left to do 

When you know that you've been taken 
                 Em 
Nothing left to do 

When you're begging for a crumb 
                 C 
Nothing left to do 

When you've got to go on waiting 
 Eb7(5-)                       B 
Waiting for the miracle to come 


[Verso 6]
Em 
When you've fallen on the highway 
D                        Em 
And you're lying in the rain 

And they ask you how you're doing 
       D                       Em 
Of course you say you can't complain 
          D 
If you're squeezed for information 
                                  Eb7(5-)   B7 
That's when you've got to play it dumb 
                              Em  D 
You just say you're out there waiting 
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em 
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
