Intro: Em

 Em           
Baby, I've been waiting
D                            Em
I've been waiting night and day
   Em
I didn't see the time
D                 Em
I waited half my life away
            D
There were lots of invitations
                        Cdim   B
And I know you sent me some
           Em    D
But I was waiting
         C    D           Cdim          B     Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

    Em
I know you really loved me
D                 Em
But, you see, my hands were tied
    Em
I know it must have hurt you
D                        Em
It must have hurt your pride
             D
To have to stand beneath my window
                           Cdim   B
With your bugle and your drum
                     Em    D 
And me I'm up there waiting
         C    D           Cdim          B     Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

      Em
Ah I don't believe you'd like it
D                     Em
You wouldn't like it here
      Em
There ain't no entertainment
D                         Em
And the judgements are severe
      D
The Maestro says it's Mozart
                    Cdim       B
But it sounds like bubble gum
             Em    D
When you're waiting
         C    D           Cdim          B     Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

 Am
Waiting for the miracle
         Em
There's nothing left to do
B
I haven't been this happy
          Em
Since the end of World War II

                 Am
Nothing left to do
           Am
When you know that you've been taken
                 Em
Nothing left to do
             Em
When you're begging for a crumb
                 C
Nothing left to do
             C
When you've got to go on waiting
 Cdim                       B
Waiting for the miracle to come

         Em
Yeah I dreamed about you, baby
D                      Em
It was just the other night
 Em
Most of you was naked
D                       Em
Ah but some of you was light
     D
The sands of time were falling
                             Cdim   B
From your fingers and your thumb
              Em    D
And you were waiting
         C    D           Cdim          B     Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

    Em
Ah baby, let's get married
D                     Em
We've been alone too long
       Em
Let's be alone together
D                          Em
Let's see if we're that strong
      D
Yeah let's do something crazy
                       Cdim   B
Something absolutely wrong
             Em    D
While we're waiting
         C    D           Cdim          B     Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

                 Am
Nothing left to do
           Am
When you know that you've been taken
                 Em
Nothing left to do
             Em
When you're begging for a crumb
                 C
Nothing left to do
             C
When you've got to go on waiting
 Cdim                       B
Waiting for the miracle to come

             Em
When you've fallen on the highway
D                        Em
And you're lying in the rain
         Em
And they ask you how you're doing
D                                Em
Of course you say you can't complain
             D
If you're squeezed for information
                                   Cdim   B
That's when you've got to play it dumb
                               Em    D
You just say you're out there waiting
         C    D           Cdim          B     Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Em     Em     D      D
Em     Em     Em     Em
Em     Em     D      D
Em     Em     Em     Em
D      D      D      D
Cdim   Cdim   B      B
Em     D      C      D
Cdim   Cdim   B      B
Em     Em...
