The Waiting Room — Sixpence None the Richer
Chords and lyrics for The Waiting Room by Sixpence None the Richer (key of F).
Verse 1
It's kind of a simplified version, you're just strumming the melody
while the picking and whatnot happens in the back lol.
The instrumental and outro are omitted for now.
Verse
[Am] [C]Fight 'til your [F]fists bleed, baby
[Am] Beat the [C]fate-walls [F]enclosing you, maybe
[Am] God will [C]unlock the [F]cage of learning
for [E]you, for [Dm]you
[Am] Fight 'til your[F] fists bleed, baby
[Am] Kick and scream at the[F] wicked things, maybe
[Em] God will unlock the [D]door you need to walk [A#]through
[Am] When will it [F]happen, baby?
[Am] It could be [F]near, but then maybe
[E] it could be [D]far
Chorus
[G]Here we are in the [D#]waiting room of the [D]world
We will [G#]wait until you call our name out [G]loud
In the [D#]waiting room of the [D]world
We will [G#]wait until you call our name out[G] loud
[Am] And the battle will [F]never end well
[Am] You can't marry our [F]heaven to your hell
[Am] We, Prolific, and [F]you, the Devourer,
[Em]need to [Dm]see
[Am] Some things are [F]sacred, baby
[Am] Why have you gone and [F]trampled them lately
[Em] I guess it's just [Dm]all a part of your[A#] way
You should be [G#]ashamed
Verse
[Am] [C]I'm getting [F]tired of fighting[A]
[E] [Em]I guess I should[D] ask,
[Am] "Do I go [F]quietly down?
[Am] Do I kick, do I [F]scream when I'm bound?
[Am] Are you coming to [F]open the door?
Are you [E]near?
Are you [E]near?
Is it [D]far?"
Outro
[G]Here we are in the [D#]waiting room of the [D]world
[G#]We will wait until you call our name out[G] loud
In the [D#]waiting room of the [D]world
[G#]We will wait until you call our name out[G] loud
[D#]In the waiting room of the [D][D]world[G#][A]
