[Intro]
Em

[Verse 1]
Em
Baby, I've been waiting
D                                        Em
I've been waiting night and day

I didn't see the time
D                         Em
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
