==============================

Verse 1 (w/Acoustic Guitar)
=======

Eadd9
               Eadd9
I lie awake at night
                 C#m7
Listening to you sleeping 
                    A1
I hear the darkness breathe 
                         Eadd9
And the rain against the window 
               Eadd9
After all this time
            C#m7 
Cynical and jaded
                   A1 
All the stones are diamonds 
                  Eadd9
All the blues are faded 


Bridge (w/Acoustic Guitar)
======
F#m             G#m
Everything I've been through 
A2                B
All I've seen and heard 
F#m              G#m
Spend so much of my life 
       A2              F#m
In the spiritual third world 
        F#m                  G#m        A2
But you came and brought the rain here
          B     
Something Waiting....


Chorus (w/Distortion)
======
        C#5
.... to happen
                      E5
Something learning to fly 
                    C#5
We can talk without talking 
               E5
From inside to inside
                 F#5            A5
I have waited to feel this 
                    E5(2)
For the whole of my life 


Verse 2 (w/Acoustic Guitar)
=======
                   Eadd9
We took ourselves apart
                    C#m7 
We talked about our faces
                        A1 
You said you didn't like yours 
             Eadd9
I said I disagree
                  Eadd9
I keep the pieces separate 
                    C#m7
I clutch them in my coat
                A1 
A jigsaw of an angel
                     Eadd9 
I can do when I feel low 


Bridge (w/Acoustic Guitar)
======
     F#m           G#m
From emptiness and dryness 
    A2            B
The famine of our days 
  F#m               G#m
I watch the heavens open 
A2           F#m
Wash it all away
    F#m                  G#m            A2 
You came and brought the rain here 
          B      
Something waiting.... 


Chorus (w/Distortion)
======
        C#5
.... to happen
                      E5
Something learning to fly 
                 C#5
On the edge of exploding
                    E5
Something wild and alive 
                     F#5
Something waiting to happen 
                   D5
Any time that you like 
                 F#5            A5
I have waited to feel this 
                    E5(2)
For the whole of my life
