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

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
