       E
"You know who I am", he said
      D               A
The speaker was an angel:
   F#m
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings,
                               C
Closed his eyes and moved his lips
                G
"It's time we should be going"

Chorus:
  E
(Waiting so long,
I've been waiting so, waiting so)
              D
"Look back in anger
A                 F#m
Driven by the night, till you come"
  E
(Waiting so long,
I've been waiting so, waiting so).
               D
"Look back in anger
 A              F#m
See it in my eyes, till you come"

   C
No one seamed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
      G
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away
Very sane he seemed to me

Chorus:
(Waiting so long,
I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, driven by the night
'Til you come
(Waiting so long,
I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, feel it in my voice
'Til you come

(Waiting so long, ahhh...)
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
(Waiting so long)
