Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

While she lays sleeping

I stay out late at night and sing my songs

And sometimes all the nights can be so long

And it's good when I finally make it home -

All alone

While she lays dreaming

I try to get undressed without the light

Then she quietly says how was your night

And I come to her and say it was all right -

And I hold her tight

Chorus

And she believes in me

I'll never know just what she sees in me

+7 ( / )

I told her someday if she was my girl

I could change the world with my little songs -

I was wrong

But she has faith in me

And so I go on trying faithfully

And who knows, maybe on some special night

+7

If my song is right

I will find a way

Find a way . . .

While she lays waiting

I stumble to the kitchen for a bite

Then I see my old guitar in the night

Just waiting for me like a secret friend -

And there's no end

While she lies crying

I fumble with a melody or two

Then I'm torn between the things that I should do

Then she says to wake her up when I am through

God her love is true

Chorus

While she waits, while she waits for me
