            Dm
I cry in my car
              Gm
I cry when I want
                           D#
All I have to do is just think about the day
  F                          A#
that you told me I'm always sad
                 Dm
And you like my love
                Gm
But I talk too much
                              D#
It's just the sky is so damn beautiful
              F             Gm
I feel like that deserves another look

              F/A
And I wasn't nervous
              A#
And I wasn't angry
              D#                     Gm
I was just so happy you were here at all
        F/A
Fingers aching
           A#
Chest wide open

Chorus:
                     D#
And I feel like you saw me
              A#
Like I never could see myself
          Dm
When you told me
                  Gm              F
That there wasn't much left and then
           D#                     A#
So you're waiting to see when my hope
will come back
         Dm
And I'm waiting
            Gm   F/A A#
I'm always waiting

But look at us now
We're as big as a house
The one we used to drive past
and dream about the day it would be ours
Next time that I was on a plane
I'd be holding a drink
I'm thinking all
I needed was some ultraviolet light into my veins

But I wasn't nervous
From all that dreaming
I was just so happy I can dream at all
'Cause in my dreams I'm usually laughing

Chorus:
And I feel like you saw me
Like I never could see myself
When you told me
That there wasn't much left to bet
So you're waiting to see if my hope will come back
And I'm waiting
I'm always waiting for you

And I'm sorry
If I never showed you enough
And you're sorry
That I'm still a dime in the rough
So we're waiting
To see when the flood will come next
And I'm waiting
I'm always waiting
