Waiting For a Miracle

Leonard Cohen


Tom: Em

[Intro] Em  

[Primeira Parte]

Em
Baby, I've been waiting
D                            Em
I've been waiting night and day
I didn't see the time
D                 Em
I waited half my life away
            D
There were lots of invitations
                        Eb7(5-)   B7
And I know you sent me some
           Em    D
But I was waiting
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Segunda Parte]

Em
I know you really loved me
         D                  Em
But, you see, my hands were tied

I know it must have hurt you
   D                 Em
It must have hurt your pride
            D
To have to stand beneath my window
                         Eb7(5-)  B7
With your bugle and your drum
                   Em      D
And me I'm up there waiting
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Terceira Parte]

Em
Ah I don't believe you'd like it
    D                  Em
You wouldn't like it here

There ain't no entertainment
        D                Em
And the judgments are severe
    D
The Maestro says it's Mozart
                         Eb7(5-)   B7
But it sounds like bubble gum
            Em  D
When you're waiting
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Ponte]

 Am
Waiting for the miracle
         Em
There's nothing left to do
B7
I haven't been this happy
          Em
Since the end of World War II
                 Am
Nothing left to do

When you know that you've been taken
                 Em
Nothing left to do

When you're begging for a crumb
                 C
Nothing left to do

When you've got to go on waiting
 Eb7(5-)                       B
Waiting for the miracle to come

[Quarta Parte]

Em
Yeah I dreamed about you, baby
D                        Em
It was just the other night

Most of you was naked
       D                Em
Ah but some of you was light
    D
The sands of time were falling
                           Eb7(5-)   B7
From your fingers and your thumb
             Em  D
And you were waiting
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Quinta Parte]

Em
Ah baby, let's get married
D                     Em
We've been alone too long
Let's be alone together
       D                Em
Let's see if we're that strong
     D
Yeah let's do something crazy
                     Eb7(5-)   B7
Something absolutely wrong
            Em  D
While we're waiting
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

[Ponte]

                 Am
Nothing left to do

When you know that you've been taken
                 Em
Nothing left to do

When you're begging for a crumb
                 C
Nothing left to do

When you've got to go on waiting
 Eb7(5-)                       B
Waiting for the miracle to come

[Sexta Parte]

Em
When you've fallen on the highway
D                        Em
And you're lying in the rain

And they ask you how you're doing
       D                       Em
Of course you say you can't complain
          D
If you're squeezed for information
                                  Eb7(5-)   B7
That's when you've got to play it dumb
                              Em  D
You just say you're out there waiting
         C    D           Eb7(5-)          B7  Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
