Chords

[Intro] Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D [Verse 1]
Em                      C
Eastern side of Lookout Mountain

      G                            D
Had a long night on the streets of Golden

Em                              C
Twenty degrees and he's looking down at the world

         G                         D
Writes a farewell to his long-lost girls

      Em                                       C
Can't say it, but he's sorry for the childhood that they lost

           G                        D
Served his own means and his family paid the cost

Em                        C
Writes that he's made his way back south

        G                          D
What he wouldn't give to show them what he sees now
[Chorus]
Em                       C
Waiting, waiting for the sun to rise

                    G                 D
It's like he's been waiting his whole life

Em                             C
His own fault it's been such a cold night

            G                         D
Now mercy's telling him it's gonna be alright

     Em                   C
He's seeing truth for the first time

G                        D
Waiting, waiting for the sun to rise
Em C G D [Verse 2]
    Em                          C
His girls wed, have kids in Carolina

         G                                   D
To those two young boys, he's in the past behind them

   Em                      C
So many things he's out of time to say

  G                        D
A burden of regret driving him to the grave

       Em                             C
Couple time zones away, the dawn of a hopefilled life

      G                            D
He'll miss it all, it's the end of his night
[Chorus]
Em                       C
Waiting, waiting for the sun to rise

                    G                 D
It's like he's been waiting his whole life

Em                             C
His own fault it's been such a cold night

            G                         D
Now mercy's telling him it's gonna be alright

     Em                   C
He's seeing truth for the first time

G                        D
Waiting, waiting for the sun to rise

Em
Gone is the darkness

C
Shadows give in

G
To the Maker's living palette

D
All pinks and reds
[Pick 2nd and 3rd strings]
Em
He'll never know if

           C
They've forgiven him

G
For just a moment he can

D
Live with it
[Pick 1st and 2nd strings] Em C G
D
With his last breath
[Chorus]
     Em                       C
He's waiting, waiting for the sun to rise

                    G                 D
It's like he's been waiting his whole life

Em                             C
His own fault it's been such a cold night

            G                         D
Now mercy's telling him it's gonna be alright

     Em                   C
He's seeing truth for the first time

G                        D
Waiting, waiting for the sun to rise
