[Intro]
Am Dm F C E
Am Dm F C E C and E only half a bar

[Verse]
Am                           Dm
Holding out for the right time
                   F                         C  E
What if the right time never arrives?
Am                               Dm
Always waiting on the sidelines
                 F
When is it my time
                 C                 E
To be the one, the one, the one?

Am                           Dm
Holding out for the right time
                 F                      C      E
My whole lifetime slowly goes by
Am                               Dm
Always waiting on the sidelines
                 F
When is it my time
                C                  E
To be the one, the one, the one?

[Pre-Chorus]
C*                     Dm*     Em*
What are you doing tonight?
        F*
You can't just scroll through pictures and hide
C*                         Dm*    Em*   F*
What do you wanna do right now

Right now, right now, right now

[Chorus]
G G/C Dm C F

[Verse] x2
                 G                            G/C  Dm
All that's happened filling up my days
                C                               F
All that's coming up, so far away
              G                                G/C Dm
In between, I'm always holding out
          C                              F
Am I ever gonna be here now?

[Interlude]
Am Dm F C E

[Verse]
Am                           Dm
Holding out for the right time

That second lifetime never arrives
Am                          Dm
Always waiting for perfection
            F                              C
Where affection cannot be won
           E
Be won, be won

Am                           Dm
Holding out for the right time
                     F                     C  E
That second lifetime never arrives
Am                               Dm
Always waiting on the sidelines
                  F
When is it my time
                 C                 E
To be the one, the one, the one?

[Pre-Chorus]

So what are you doing tonight?
        F*
You can't just scroll through pictures and hide
C*                           Dm*    Em*  F*
What do you wanna do right
          C*                          Dm*   Em*   F*
Yeah, what do you wanna do right now

Right now, right now, right now

[Chorus]
G G/C Dm C F

All that's coming up, so far away
