What Are We Waiting For

Leslie Odom Jr.


Tom: A

D                   Bm
Reasons to call include
D                G
Going after the kill
D                   Bm
I watched as love ensued
     Bm                         G
And I lost every ounce of my own free will
G                       A                       Bm
I see your mouth it's a healthy shade of pink
       G                        A                             Bm                A       G
But it’s only time that is keeping our bodies from sinking into the ground

[Chorus]
G                 D              G                       D
What are we waiting for oh what are we waiting for

[Verse 2]
D               Bm        D            G
I am a lot like you I see beauty in all
           D                   Bm7
But how long can we hold onto
       Bm                     G
This feeling we had just before the fall
G                        A                          Bm
You be the hero and i'll be the victim you save
        G                                 A
And we'll come full circle when I find myself
        Bm         A            G
Singing songs to you in your grave

[Chorus]
G                 D              G                       D
What are we waiting for oh what are we waiting

[Bridge]
G               Bm
I'm no good inside this mess
         E                                   G
I'm a wild-eyed romantic and I'm drowning in my carelessness
G                                           Bm
And even when I'm with you and we're dreaming our big dreams
      E                                         Gm
I'm stuck somewhere between my two most dangerous extremes

[Chorus]
       G                        D                 G                 E7      E
Oh what are we waiting for oh what are we waiting for
       G                                       D
Oh what are we waiting for
