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.
