Chords

[Verse 1]
E
I lie awake at night

                  C#m7
Listening to you sleeping

                    A
I hear the darkness breathe

                         E
And the rain against the window
After all this time
            C#m7
Cynical and jaded

                   A
All the stones are diamonds
All the blues are faded [Bridge]
F#m             G#m
Everything I've been through

A                 B
All I've seen and heard

F#m              G#m
Spend so much of my life

A                B
In the spiritual third world

F#m                      G#m
But you came and brought the rain here
[Chorus]
A         B       C#m
Something waiting to happen

          E           C#m
Something learning to fly

                    E
We can talk without talking

               F#m
From inside to inside

                 A
I have waited to feel this

                    E
For the whole of my life
[Verse 2]
E
We took ourselves apart

                    C#m7
We talked about our faces

                    A
You said you didn't like yours

            E
I said I disagree
I keep the pieces separate
                    C#m7
I clutch them in my coat

               A
A jigsaw of an angel

                     E
I can do when I feel low
[Bridge]
F#m                G#m
From emptiness and dryness

A                 B
The famine of our days

F#m                 G#m
I watch the heavens open

A           B
Wash it all away

F#m                  G#m
You came and brought the rain here
[Chorus]
A         B          C#m
Something waiting to happen

                      E
Something learning to fly

               C#m
On the edge of exploding

                   E
Something wild and alive

                     F#m
Something waiting to happen

                  D
Any time that you like

                 F#m
I have waited to feel this

A                   E
For the whole of my life
