I Waited

[Intro]
? ? ? ?
C G C
She asked before she turned away,
F C G
"Is there anything you need to say ?"
C G C
"I love you" , might have worked
F C G
But I never say a single word
Am G
She never even made the front gate
F G
Before I knew that I was too late
[Chorus]
F Em F
I waited 'til she was far enough away and then I cried
C F G
I waited 'til she had all she could take and I don't know why
C F Am G F
I wanted to say I love you at the perfect time
G C
And like a fool I waited 'til she said goodbye
C G C
All the lines weren't quite right
F C G
The chances that I let slip by
C G C
All the times that I held out
F C G
Are reasons she's not here right now
Am G
All she really needed was to know
F G
All I had to do was let it show
