Chords

[Intro] B G#m F# x3 [Verse]

 B
I've waited hours for this

I've made myself so sick

   G#m
I wish I'd stayed

  F#
asleep today

 B
I never thought this day would end

                               G#m
I never thought tonight could ever be

      F#
this close to me

[Verse 2]

B
Just try to see in the dark

just try to make it work

   G#m                         F#
to feel the fear before you're here

  B
I make the shapes come much too close

I pull my eyes out

        G#m                     F#
hold my breath and wait until I shake...

[Bridge]

 E
But if I had your faith

                               B
then I could make it safe and clean

 E
If only I was sure

                               B
that my head on the door was a dream

[Instrumental] (There's a part here with horns but the underliner is the B G#m F# progression) [Verse]

 B
I've waited hours for this

I've made myself so sick

  G#m              F#
I wish I'd stayed asleep today

B
I never thought this day would end

                              G#m
I never thought tonight could ever be

      F#
this close to me

[Bridge]

 E
But if I had your face

                              B
then I could make it safe and clean

 E                                                     B
if only I was sure that my head on the door was a dream

(Repeat B G#m F# progression until you want it to end, unless of course you have a trumpet like the recording.)
