The Waiting by Angel Olsen
From the album Half Way Home.
Tabbed by Laxan.
I hastily wrote down the lyrics, so there may be errors.

Worked out the tab using this video of her playing live:

All open chords except for G* and Cm which are played as a barre chord.
Enjoy!

Cm G* G
Here you come along,
Am D G
I take a breath and remind myself that I too can be strong
Am D
Thought I was cool, turns out I'm a fool
Am D
Clearly you've proved me wrong
G Am D G
I didn't know what I was missing when I was alone.

Chorus:
Cm G* G
And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for
Am D G
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
Am D
Someone to run not walk
Am D
Oh, someone to sing not talk
Am D
Oh, no hesitiation at all
G Am D G
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
Am D
Well im lost in my thoughts they tumble ahead
Am D
Over and over again, yeah it's true


Cm G* G
Just take a look at what's been done to me
Cm G*
I wasted time to ponder
Cm G*
Here I am now, all Alice in Wonder
G Am D
Partly I do this to myself but why can't you see
G Am D
The gesture is small but know that it means the world to me
Am D
Oh, forgive me for wanting, I'm only learning life
Am D
Forgiven myself and now, there's no returning
G Am D
I want to be the one who knows the best way
G Am D
I want to be the one who knows the best way
G Am D G
I want to be the one who knows the best way to love you
Cm G* G
But now I'm foolishly waiting for
Am D G
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
Am D
Someone to run not walk
Am D
Oh, someone to sing not talk
Am D
Oh, no hesitation at all
G Am D G
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
G Am D G
I need you to be the one
G Am D G
I need you to be the one
G Am D G
I need you to be the one

Outro:
G Am D G
G Am D G

Note: I think the G* she uses is a weird variation that I can't seem to find, but
this is close enough for now.
If you have a correction, please put it in the comments and I'll edit, thanks.
