Waiting For The World To Fall

Jars Of Clay


Tom: F

Intro: Am, G, F, C

Am              G                 F                C
I'm afraid it's been too long to try to find the reasons why
Am              G                 F                C
I let my world close in around a smaller patch of fading sky
Am              G                 F                     F
But now I've grown beyond the walls to where I've never been
Am              G                 F     F
And it's still winter in my wonderland

Chorus
Am       G           F          C
I'm waiting for the world to fall
Am       G           F          F
I'm waiting for the scene to change
Am       G           F          C
I'm waiting when the colors come
Am       G           F          F
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

Am               G               F                  C
I close my eyes and try to see the world unbroken underneath
Am               G               F                  C
The farther off and already it just might make the life I lead
Am               G               F                  F
A little more than make-believe when all my skies are painted blue
Am               G               F                  F
And the clouds don't ever change the shape of who I am to You


Chorus
Am       G           F          C
I'm waiting for the world to fall
Am       G           F          F
I'm waiting for the scene to change
Am       G           F          C
I'm waiting when the colors come
Am       G           F          F
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

Dm, Am  x2

Bb                     F                              Dm
When I catch the light of falling stars my view is changing me
Am                G       Am   G   F
My view is changing me

I'm waiting

Final Chorus
Am       G           F          F
I'm waiting for the world to fall
Am       G           F          F
I'm waiting for the scene to change
Am       G           F          F
I'm waiting when the colors come
Am       G           F          F
I'm waiting to let my world come undone
