I've been waitin' for the sun to shine
Shine between the clouds within my mind
My days are getting numbered
And my nights are growing long
And I know now that I waited far too long
I've been waitin' for my bird to sing
Sing a song about the simpler things
Flew through the night just to [C7]find
A birdie to [C7]sing along
But I know that I waited far too long
Can you [A7ɾelease me from my [A]crime
I've spent too much time by myself
Alone with my [A]own thoughts only to [C7]find
I can finally admit that I was [Am7]wrong
But I know now that I waited far too long
Can you [A7ɾelease me from my [A]crime
I've spent too much time by myself
Alone with my [A]own thoughts only to [C7]find
I can finally admit that I was [Am7]wrong
But I know now that I waited far too long
I've been waitin' for [Dm7]my [A]words to [C7]ɾhyme
It's easier when you [A7don't even tɾy
I wanted my [A]poems to [C7]prove
That my [A]love for [Dm7]you's still stɾong
But I know now that I waited far too long
Can you [A7ɾelease me from my [A]crime
I've spent too much time by myself
Alone with my [A]own thoughts only to [C7]find
I can finally admit that I was [Am7]wrong
But I know now that I waited far too long
