While she lays sleep ing,
I stay out late at night and play my (Eb)songs.
And (Cm7)some times all the nights can (F)be so (Dm7)long,
and it’s (Gm7)good when I fi n’ly make it (Cm7)home
all a (F7sus)lone.
While (F7)she lays (Bb)dream ing,
I try to get un dressed with out the (Eb)light.
Then (Cm7)qui et ly she says, “How (F)was your (Dm7)night?”
And I (Gm7)come to her and say it was all (Cm7)right.
And I (Bb)hold her tight.
And she be (Bbsus)lieves in (Bb)me.
I’ll nev er (Bb)know just what she (A)sees in me.
I told her some day if she (Gm)was my girl I could (Gm7)change the world with my (Cm7)lit tle songs.
I was wrong.
But she has (Bbsus)faith in me.
And so I (Bb)go on try ing (A)faith ful ly,
and who knows, may be on some (Gm)spe cial night,
if my (Gm7)song is right,
I will (Cm7)find a way,
(F7sus)find a way.
While she lays (Bb)wait ing,
I stum ble to the kitch en for a (Eb)bite.
Then I (Cm7)see my old gui (F7)tar (F)in the (Dm7)night,
just (Gm7)wait ing for me like a se cret (Cm7)friend,
and there’s (F7sus)no end.
While she lays (Bb)cry ing,
I fum ble with a mel o dy or (Eb)two.
Then I’m (Cm7)torn be tween the (F7)things that I should (Dm7)do.
Then she (Gm7)says to wake her up when I am (Cm7)through.
God, her love is true.
And she be (Bbsus)lieves in (Bb)me.
I’ll nev er (Bb)know just what she (A)sees in me.
I told her some day if she (Gm)was my girl I could (Gm7)change the world with my (Cm7)lit tle songs.
I was wrong.
But she has (Bbsus)faith in me.
And so I (Bb)go on try ing (A)faith ful ly,
and who knows, may be on some (Gm)spe cial night
if my (Gm7)song is right,
I will (Cm7)find a way,
while she (Bb)waits,
while she (Ebm)waits
for (Bb)me.
