[Intro] (x2)
Dm C G
[Verse]
Am G Dm
Been good, been bad, got worse, got better.
Am G Dm
I feel I know myself when I'm looking in the mirror.
Am G Dm
I've been hurt, been loved - I'm scarred, not bitter.
Am G Dm
I am an angel with the knowledge of a sinner.
[Bridge]
F F#dim
What do I do, and how should I be?
G G#dim
When I look at myself, I can only be me....
[Chorus]
Dm C G
I need a little patience...
Dm C G
I need a little patience...
Dm C G
I need a little patience...
Dm C G
I need a little patience... Yeah
[Verse]
Am G Dm
Been hard, been soft, been both, been neither
Am G Dm
Above it all, I am only a survivor.
Am G Dm
Been down, been low, got up, got higher -
Am G Dm
We are only human, all just liars...
[Bridge]
F F#dim
So I wait for the day when I open my eyes
G G#dim
And I look to myself, but it's no big surprise
[Chorus]
Dm C G
I need a little patience...
Dm C G
I need a little patience...
Dm C G
I need a little patience...
Dm C G
I need a little patience... Yeah
[Middle 8]
F
Well I'm sitting here and sinking and I'm on the 8th floor
F#dim
And I'm thinking do I jump or should I stay around some more?
G
I watch my friends get bigger and get better and get richer
G#dim
Well I'm not bitter, no
F F#dim
Time is ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking on with a vengeance
G
I want it all
G#dim
I want it all
[Chorus]
Dm C G
I need a little patience...
Dm C G
I need a little patience...
Dm C G
I need a little patience...
Dm C G
I need a little patience... Yeah
