Baby, I've been waiting
D Em
I've been waiting night and day
I didn't see the time

I waited half my life away
D
There were lots of invitations
Ebdim7 B7
And I know you sent me some
Em D
But I was waiting
C D Ebdim7 B7 Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[Verse 2]
Em
I know you really loved me
D Em
But, you see, my hands were tied
I know it must have hurt you
D Em
It must have hurt your pride
D
To have to stand beneath my window
Ebdim7 B7
With your bugle and your drum
Em D
And me I'm up there waiting
C D Ebdim7 B7 Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[Verse 3]
Em
Ah I don't believe you'd like it
D Em
You wouldn't like it here
There ain't no entertainment
D Em
And the judgments are severe
D
The Maestro says it's Mozart
Ebdim7 B7
But it sounds like bubble gum
Em D
When you're waiting
C D Ebdim7 B7 Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[Bridge]
Am
Waiting for the miracle
Em
There's nothing left to do
B7
I haven't been this happy
Em
Since the end of World War II
Am
Nothing left to do
When you know that you've been taken
Em
Nothing left to do
When you're begging for a crumb
C
Nothing left to do
When you've got to go on waiting
Ebdim B
Waiting for the miracle to come
[Verse 4]
Em
Yeah I dreamed about you, baby
D Em
It was just the other night
Most of you was naked
D Em
Ah but some of you was light
D
The sands of time were falling
Ebdim7 B7
From your fingers and your thumb
Em D
And you were waiting
C D Ebdim7 B7 Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[Verse 5]
Em
Ah baby, let's get married
D Em
We've been alone too long
Let's be alone together
D Em
Let's see if we're that strong
D
Yeah let's do something crazy
Ebdim7 B7
Something absolutely wrong
Em D
While we're waiting
C D Ebdim7 B7 Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
[Bridge]
Am
Nothing left to do
When you know that you've been taken
Em
Nothing left to do
When you're begging for a crumb
C
Nothing left to do
When you've got to go on waiting
Ebdim7 B
Waiting for the miracle to come
[Verse 6]
Em
When you've fallen on the highway
D Em
And you're lying in the rain
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
Ebdim7 B7
That's when you've got to play it dumb
Em D
You just say you're out there waiting
C D Ebdim7 B7 Em
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
