           E
Well, I'm so above you
           G       A
And it's plain to see
       E                   G  A
But I came to love you anyway
        E
So you tore my heart out
       G           A
And I don't mind bleeding
E
Any old time to keep me waiting
 G        A
Waiting, waiting

Chorus:
E         G                  A
Oh, oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
E         G                  A
Oh, oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
E
I'm a lonely boy
G             A
I'm a lonely boy
E         G                  A
Oh, oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Well, your mama kept you, but your daddy left you
And I shoulda done you just the same
But I came to love you, am I born to bleed?
Any old time you keep me waitin'
Waitin', waitin'

Chorus

Hey
