Lyrics

‘Waiting Place’ by Ryan O’Toole [Amateur Blonde] (capo on F#)

B F#m
How long,
How long must we be made to wait.
To pay down,
Pay down the debt for mistakes they’ve made.

B7 F#m + B7 F#m

B F#m
Never
Never the one to complain.
You know, (harmony start)
You know it wont change a thing at all to complain.

B7 F#m + B7 F#m
No it wouldn't

C#m
Praying,
B F#m
Pray for the sun in your face.
C#m
Pray now.
B F#m
Pray you don’t die in this place____ (hold last note).
(F# - G# - A)

A E B F#m
‘Cause we can do, is wait.
A E B F#m
All we can do is wait_____(holds)
(F# - G# - A) (A - B - C - C#m)
C#m B F#m
C#m B F#m G#7
______________________ (band stops)


B F#m (humming + finger picking)
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm (continue under next 2 lines)

B
Never,
F#m
Never the one to complain.
B (band builds)
You know, (Harmony again)
F#m (band back in)
You know it wont change a thing at all to complain.

B7 F#m + B7 F#m
No it wouldn't + No it wouldn’t (high harmony)

(solo) B A E B (then quiets down)

B
This, (no harmony)
A
This is the place,
E B
The place where we were told to wait.

B
But how, (harmony)
A
How long,
E B (hold on whole note)
Will we be made to wait.
