I Waited
Chris Cummings   
Album: Chris Cummings (1998)

Intro: | C | C | C | C |

C                 G          C
She asked before she turned away, 	 
F                       C       G
"Is there anything you need to say ?" 	 
C                G          C
"I love you" , might have worked 	 
       F            C     G
But I never say a single word 	 
Am              G  	 
She never even made the front gate
F        G
  Before I knew that I was too late

CHORUS:
    F                  Em                 F
I waited 'til she was far enough away and   then I cried
                   C                 F                    G
I waited 'til she had all she could take and I don't know why
    C              F              Am  G   F 
I wanted to say I love you at the perfect time
                           G               C
And like a fool I waited 'til she said goodbye

C                       G     C
All the lines weren't quite right
F                   C       G  
The chances that I let slip by
C              G           C
All the times that I held out 	 
      F                C          G
Are reasons she's not here right now
Am               G
All she really needed was to know
F              G
  All I had to do was let it show

(Repeat Chorus - 2X)
