intro:  C   C4   C   C4   C   C4   C   C4

C             C4        C               C4       C   Dm2  Dm  Dm2  Dm  Dm7  Dm
Stand on the corner, I watch my breath freeze in the air 
C           C4        C        C4       
See how it lifts and then vanishes 
C           Dm2          Dm  Dm2  Dm  Dm7  Dm
But I know You're still there 
F  G                     F           G
      Well, I've got nowhere else to go 
F  Dm                  F           G               C  C4  C2  C  C4  C2
      'Cause the only life that I know comes from You 

    C2       C     C4  C2   Csus49  G/C  F/C  
And I can't walk away 
 C2         C  C4  C  C4     C2         C2     C      C4   Csus49  G/C  F/C  C2
Though the truth         is that it can be so hard to wait 
        Fmaj7
When a million voices whisper, and they tell me I should leave 
           C(2)
Into the shadows that the moon casts On these alleys and these streets 
      Fmaj7
But I know that chasing shadows won't get me anywhere 'Cause I've been there 

C                  C4                C             C4    C  Dm2 Dm Dm2 Dm Dm7
Dm
So I stand on the promise, 'cause I know that the promise is sure 
         C           C4            C        C4       
That it comes from beyond us and tells us again 
C               Dm2           Dm  Dm2  Dm  Dm7  Dm
That there's a whole 'nother world 
F  G                        F               G
      Well, the one I'm in keeps spinning 'round 
F  Dm                      F               G        C  C4  C2  C  C4  C2
      But I want to stay right here 'cause I found You 

    C2       C     C4  C2   Csus49  G/C  F/C  
And I can't walk away 
 C2         C  C4  C  C4     C2         C2     C      C4   Csus49  G/C  F/C  C2
Though the truth         is that it can be so hard to wait 
        Fmaj7
When a million voices whisper, and they tell me I should leave 
           C(2)
Into the shadows that the moon casts On these alleys and these streets 
      Fmaj7                                                                  C
But I know that chasing shadows won't get me anywhere 'Cause I've been there 

        Fmaj7
So I'm waiting for You Jesus 'Cause I know that those who wait 
           C(2)
They will mount with wings like eagles They will run and not grow faint 
           Fmaj7
They will walk and not grow weary Their strength will be renewed Coming from
You 

      C   C4    C   C4       C      Dm2  Dm  Dm2  Dm  Dm7  Dm
So I wait               I'm waiting for You 
         C   C4   C  C4      C     Dm2  Dm  Dm2  Dm  Dm7  Dm
Waiting for You         So come back soon 
                C   C4    C   C4    C   C4   C  
I'm waiting for You
