B A E
It's six minuetes till eleven
B A E
The phone rings but it's never you
B A E
I won't walk the floor I'll just watch it
B A E
Stood up and patient and blue
C#m
What am I waiting for
A E
She may never show
C#m
What am I waiting for
A E
My legs won't let me go
C#m F#
What am I waiting for what am I waiting for
A B
She'll never get here
B A E
It's not that I'm worried about her
B A E
She'll think up some brand new excuse
B A E
So why am I all alone going cray
B A E
While she's having fun running loose
SOLO
B A E
It's six minutes after eleven
B A E
But I'm talking about the next day
B A E
Our date was just made to be broken
B A E
I guess some things will just never change
C#m
What am I waiting for
A E
She may never show
C#m
What am I waiting for
A E
My legs won't let me go
C#m F#
What am I waiting for what am I waiting for
A B E
She'll never get here
