I Waited

Tom: C

I Waited 
Chris Cummings   Somewhere Inside 
 
 
She asked before she turned away,      
{C G C 
"Is there anything you need to say ?"      
{F C G 
"I love you" , might have worked            
{C G C 
But I didn't say a single word            
{F C G 
She never even made the front gate       
{F G 
Before I knew that I was too late            
{F G 
 

CHORUS: 

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

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