F#m                  D         A
I've heard about a great big swindle
E            B
I read about it in a book
F#m            D       A
The book flew out the window
E                    B
Was later found by thieves and crooks

C#m
And now
                Am
they're singing hallelujah
Em                   D
I'm wondering just what did they find
F#m         D        A
They say "what's it to ya?"
E             B
Just take a place in line

Chorus:
    F#m
And wait
     C#m
So I wait
   D
I wait
    A
And wait
      C#m A E
And I.

I'm one of a few survivors
In a drawer labeled "lost and found"
Moon travelers and deep sea divers
Whose oxygen supply ran out

Now maybe if their gods be willing
They'll give us something, fill our empty cups
Sit down in the boat, don't spill it
Or we'll just have to line back up

And wait
So we wait
We wait and wait
Yes, we wait
And we wait
We will wait
We will wait
'Til we

You can hear it in the beat they march to
And you can feel the Earth shake when they start to dance
You can tell by the way they move you
It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby

And as the world moves faster
Whiplashing us around and round
It's quite a slow disaster
But people keep on falling down

Chorus:
        F#m  D A
As they wait
    E  B
We wait
       F#m D A
And we wait
    E  B
We wait
        F#m D A
And we wait
    E  B
We wait
F#m         D A
Hallelujah!
