Still waiting (video)

Am - Em - G - D

Am Em

1. Buried in the rubble there’s a boy in trouble,

G D

reaching for a piece of the sky,

Am Em

Clawing at the wreckage, sending out a message,

G D

dying to get back to the light.

F C G D

Lost in time, long forgotten, hung forever

F C D

on the line, still waiting behind.

C - G - Em D C

Still waiting, forever left to wonder why.

- G - G D C

Still waiting, in truth I know that really I’m

- G - Em D C

still out there, still waiting, a wandering ghost forevermore.

- G - G D Am

Still out there, still waiting, I feel like I’ve been here before.

+ Am - Em - G - D

Am Em

2. I had never reckoned ever coming second,

G D

stretching to get over the line.

Am Em

But I’m all in pieces, sick as all my secrets,

G D

still know how they weigh on my mind.

F C G D

Lost in time, long forgotten, hung forever

F C D

on the line, still waiting behind.

+ CHORUS

Am Em G D

+ Phantoms in the shadows howl to devils on the edge of town,

Am Em G D

passing through the city walls, dancing down the hollow halls.

Am Em G D

Vultures in the inky haze circle where my body lays,

Am Em G D

I’ve got to get a message out, pull me from the wreckage now.

still out there, still waiting, a wandering ghost forevermore.

Still out there, still waiting, I feel like I’ve been here before.
