[Verse 1]
          D
I've been waiting for the day when my father come around
Bm7                                   G
Waiting for that moment when we would paint the town but
D                                Bm
Then it all hit me last night, nobody's coming
D
I've been waiting for that moment when my heart heals
        Bm                                       G
Waiting for someone to take away the pain that I feel
        D                               Bm
Then it all hit me last night, nobody's coming


[Pre-Chorus]
    D                                        Bm7                           G
But why should I dwell on the things I can't change? (Things I can't change)
     D                                 Bm
What if I'm the answer for things that I've prayed? (Things that I've prayed)
            D
All I know is


[Chorus]
                              Bm7
If nothing changes before I'm gone
                          G        D
I got no one else I could blame it on
                    F#m     Bm7
And we been waiting way too long
                                  G            N.C.
What if we're the ones that we're waiting on? (What you waitin' for?)


[Verse 2]
          D                                     Bm
I've been waiting on peace, but I just bought a piece
                  A
One under the bed and one under the seat
D                                                   Bm
I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but it helps me sleep (Helps me sleep)
D                                      F#m
I've been waiting for the day when the cops don't shoot
          Bm                                      A
When they feel safe enough not to wear them bulletproofs
D                         F#m                  Bm           A
I don't know who is right or wrong, but I sure can't sleep


[Pre-Chorus]
    D                                F#m     Bm                            G
But why should I dwell on the things I can't change? (Things I can't change)
D                          F#m              Bm
What if I'm the answer for things that I've prayed? (Things that I've prayed)
            D
All I know is


[Chorus]
                     F#m      Bm
If nothing changes before I'm gone
                          G        D
I got no one else I could blame it on
                    F#m     Bm
And we been waiting way too long
                       N.C.
What if we're the ones that we're waiting on? (What you waitin' for?)
D                             Bm
If nothing changes before I'm gone
                          G        D
I got no one else I could blame it on
                               Bm
And we've been waiting way too long
                                  G
What if we're the ones that we're waiting on?


[Bridge]
D                             Bm                G
I might just have to be, what I never had for me
D                             Bm                G
I might just have to be, what I never had for me
D                             Bm                G
I might just have to be, what I never had for me
D                             Bm                  G   D
I might just have to be, what I never had for me (Oh, oh)
