G*                            C*  
One thought has me turning back 
   G*                    D7* 
a dozen point the other way 
G*                                    
We act upon desire 
    C* 
to each a hand for hire 
       G*          D7*           G* 
and patience isn't worth the wait 

C*                         G*  
You've got knives in your eyes 
              C*                        G* 
You would be happy not to change your mind 
Em*                    A7*          
I can't defend you truly 
           D7              C7                    D7  
When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire 
                   C* 
And if we work it out 
G*          D7*                         
Chances abound 
                      Em (7ª casa) 
We'd be standing our ground 
                    C*    
For no one's better sake 
G*                 D7 
(better say) goodbye 
                   (G-C-G-D7)      
What are we waiting for? (x6) 
G*  C*  G*                D7*        G*  
Hum... What are we waiting for? 

G*                   C*   
How faint might that light become 
   G*                 D7* 
in focus but at miles away? 
  G*              
Although my position 
      C* 
just gives you amunnition 
    G*            D7*        G* 
be certain that I know my praise

Em                      A7 
I can't defend you truly

            C* 
We would be friends 
            G* 
if we tried again 
                 D7* 
I'll take second place 
                Em 
just to end the race 
             C*          G* 
 for no one's better sake 
              D7* 
(better say) goodbye.
