Am                   Dm
Holding out for the right time

What if the right time never arrives?

Am                     Dm
Always waiting on the sidelines

            F
When is it my time

           C           E
To be the one, the one, the one?

Am                   Dm
Holding out for the right time

          F                C   E
My whole lifetime slowly goes by

Am                      Dm
Always waiting on the sidelines

When is it my time

           C           E
To be the one, the one, the one?

All that's happened filling up my days
