CHORDS + LYRICS:
Intro:
Main riff 2 times
Verse 1:
Em Am
I didn't come here trying to find forgiveness
Em Am
I didn't come here looking for a fix
Em Am
I didn't come here in hopes of seeing
Em Am
How the un-forsaken get their kicks
Pre-chorus:
A G
It's like a cry for help nobody hears
A G
Close as you can get but I'm still nowhere near
Chorus:
B (D-C#) B (D-E) B (D-C#)
Now I'm just down here waiting on a sign
B (A-B) B (D-C#)
I'm running out of time
B (D-E) B (D-C#)
I'm here waiting on a sign, look
Verse 2:
Mother's only happy as her saddest child
To learn to live without can take a while
And it's a long way back to anywhere
And it's not too late, oh but it's getting there
Pre-chorus:
It like a cry for help that nobody hears
Close as you can get but I'm still nowhere near
Chorus:
I'm just here waiting on your sign
I'm running out of time
I'm waiting, waiting on a sign
[Solo on instrumental verse / prechorus / chorus]
Verse 3:
So you blow a veil of smoke
To protect yourself from the joke
Look around this room
And say, "Man, I don't belong here"
So many sides to the truth
But only one side to a fact
What will we do
With what we can't take back?
Pre-chorus:
Like a cry, like a cry for help that nobody hears
Close as you can get but I'm still nowhere near
Chorus:
I'm just down here waiting on a sign
I'm running, I'm running out of time
I'm waiting on a sign
Oh, I'm waiting on a sign
I'm just, got me here waiting on a sign
I'm just waiting on a sign
I'm just waiting on a sign
Just waiting on a sign
