A Study In Waiting

[Verso 1]
 
A                                 D 
Ive heard it been talked about a million ways 
A                                 E 
Ive listened to songs and seen a thousand plays 
A                                E 
Ive found it in restaurants and window seats 
D                          A 
But it still has not found me 

A                            D 
Its in every film and every reverie 
A                               E 
Its threads in the fabric of humanity 
A                                E 
Ive found it in parks under the willow trees 
D                          A 
But it still has not found me 
 


[Refrão]
 
E             D               E               A 
Ive waited a lifetime, could wait a lifetime more 
                E         F#             
Lay bricks in my house and leave an open door 
 


[Verso 2]
 
A                              D 
Ive read every book, imagined every dream 
A                              E 
Ive danced to the melodies of yearning themes 
A                                E 
Ive found it in birds crossing over the sea 
D                           A 
But it still has not found me 

A                           D 
Its in every detail of the world weve built 
A                               E 
The lift of a sword, a writers ache-drenched quill 
A                                E 
Ive found it in courtships of a bumblebee 
D                           A 
But it still has not found me 
 


[Refrão]
 
E             D               E               A 
Ive waited a lifetime, could wait a lifetime more 
                 E         F#             
Paint walls in my house and leave an open door 
 


[Ponte]
 
A              E/G# 
Theres still so much to do 
        F#m               E 
So many rooms yet to move through 
A                E/G# 
If Im the architect 
         F#m              E 
Its my design I must protect 
A                           
The more that I learn, the more that it grows 
C#m                 E       
How far it reaches, nobody knows 
 


[Verso 3]
 
A                              D 
But if by some chance it never comes my way 
A                                E 
Ill still see its silhouette in lifes ballet 
A                              E 
Its whispering in my mothers eyes softly 
D                       A 
Its always been around me
