    F#
The more you wait, the more you break
                             Bmaj7 F#
The longer that it takes to undo
All the knots that you've been tying
                                       Bmaj7
On cherry stems and black barbed wire, too

    G#m
You work all day to find religion
    A#m
And end up standing in your kitchen
 Bmaj7
Wondering 'bout the way it's always been
      G#m
I'm a firefighter and I can't stop it
 A#m
They fan the flames higher than rockets
     B
And leave you standing on an open plane

Chorus:
                F#
Begging for rain
 B               F# B
Oh, begging for rain

I feel it all and I can't stop it
Wish that I could turn my faucet loose
On all my friends who keep on calling
Like nothing's wrong and asking me "what's new?"

I try my best to not be bitter
Give my rage a babysitter
Stop waiting for the adults to come home
It's a firework and you can't stop it
I'm cutting holes in all the pockets
Of everyone that's calling me insane

Chorus:
Oh, waiting for rain
Oh, begging for rain

       F#  C# B G#m F# C# B G#m
I keep waitin'
       F#  C# B G#m F#
I keep waitin'
