Lyrics

Wait ing here for some one.

On ly yes ter day, we were on the run.

You smiled back at (G)me, and your face lit up the sun.

Now I’m wait ing here for some one.

And, (Dm)oh,

(C)love,

do you feel (C)this rough?

Why’s it on ly (C)you I’m think ing (G)of?

My shad ow’s danc ing with out you for the first time.

My heart is hop ing you’ll walk right in to night and (F)tell me there are things that you re gret.

’Cause (Am)if I’m be ing hon est, I ain’t (G)o ver you yet.

It’s all I’m ask ing; is it too much to ask?

Is it too much to ask?

Some one’s (G)mov ing out side;

the lights come on down the drive.

I for get you’re not (G)here when I close my eyes.

Do you still think of me some times?

And, (Dm)oh,

(C)love,

watch the sun (C)com ing up.

Don’t it feel (C)fucked up we’re not in (G)love?

My shad ow’s danc ing with out you for the first time.

My heart is hop ing you’ll walk right in to night and (F)tell me there are things that you re gret.

’Cause (Am)if I’m be ing hon est, I ain’t (G)o ver you yet.

It’s all I’m ask ing; is it too much to ask?

My shad ow’s danc ing with out you for the first time.

My heart is hop ing you’ll walk right in to night and (F)tell me there are things that you re gret.

’Cause (Am)if I’m be ing hon est, I ain’t (G)o ver you yet.

is it too much to ask?

It’s all I’m ask ing; is it too much to ask?

It’s all I’m ask ing; is it too much to ask?
