Am          Em                   Am            Em
She never sleeps at night she's quiet but she dreams.
Am           Em          Am                     Em
Her mind is racing, she plans, she plots, she schemes.
          Am Em Am Em
Another idea.

She takes apart the past and re-writes all her lines
She's tried to win him back a hundred different times
She's got another idea

Chorus:
Am         Em       Am           Em             Am
She keeps waiting, hoping he'll come back some day,
        Em       Am         Em         Am Em
She'll leave me, until she does I can say.
F                   G
Wait, please don't go,
                   Am Em
I've got another idea.

No fun to be the one that love is practiced on
Why should I leave her she wouldn't know I've gone
I've got another idea

Chorus:
I'll keep waiting, hoping she'll love me someday
She'll want me until she does I can say
Wait, please don't go
I've got another idea
