[Verse]
D            D/C#               Bm              Bm/G#
As we walk together through the autumn, nearing winter
            Gm                                 D               A7
Through the dying leaves and trees we call our home and native land
    D             D/C#              Bm             Bm/G#           Gm
You say you don't believe a thing I say, I say you don't believe a thing
                              D            A7
You say you can't believe how I don't understand


[Chorus]
      G
But I know
                 D
That you will be waiting
      G
Oh, I know
                 Bm
That you will be waiting
      G
Oh, I know
            A
You will be waiting
A7                D   D/C#   Bm   Bm/G#   Gm   D  A7
Waiting there for me


[Verse]
    D              D/C#              Bm             Bm/G#
You say you cannot live with me, you need your own identity
    Gm                        D         A7
And now we air our laundry on national TV
    D              D/C#          Bm                     Bm/G#
And so you hate my arrogance, my smothering and sitting on the fence
         Gm                              D              A7
But I'm afraid of the hard permanence of letting you go free


[Chorus]
      G
But I know
                 D
That you will be waiting
      G
Oh, I know
                 Bm
That you will be waiting
      G
Oh, I know
            A
You will be waiting
A7                D   D/C#   Bm   Bm/G#   Gm   D  A7
Waiting there for me


[Verse]
D              D/C#              Bm            Bm/G#
I'm so sick of fighting and that effigy you're lighting looks
   Gm                                D                  A7
An awful lot like someone whose name I just can't quite place
    D                   D/C#            Bm           Bm/G#
And though you say it's not supposed to be me or any entity
      Gm                                   D              A7
Still through the flames and smoke I see I recognize that face


[Chorus]
      G
But I know
                 D
That you will be waiting
      G
Oh, I know
                 Bm
That you will be waiting
      G
Oh, I know
            A
You will be waiting
A7                D   D/C#   Bm   Bm/G#   Gm   D  A7
Waiting there for me


[Outro]
G        A
You were someone who would
D      D/C#    G
Always tell me things I don't know
            Gm
And tell me where to go
           A
There I'll always go
A7        G
Always go there
G          Em
Whether or not you're waiting
Bm      F#m
I don't care if you'll be waiting
    G               A7                            D   D/C#   Bm   Bm/G#
But please say that you will be waiting there for me
               Gm
Don't you ever leave me
      D
Don't leave
