[Verse 1]
 
Cm/A D7  G
Here you come along
Am                    D                  G
I take a breath and remind myself that I too can be strong
Am                        D
Thought I was cool, turns out I'm a fool
Am                       D
Clearly you've proved me wrong
G                        Am           D      G
I didn't know what I was missing when I was alone
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            Cm/A D7     G
And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for
Am                     D                       G
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
Am                 D
Someone to run not walk
    Am                  D
Oh, someone to sing not talk
    Am               D
Oh, no hesitation at all
    G            Am            D      G
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
         Am                        D
Well I'm lost in my thoughts, they tumble ahead
Am             D
Over and over again, yeah it's true
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
            Cm/A    D7          G
Just take a look at what's been done to me
Cm/A                D7
I've wasted time to ponder
       Cm/A                 D7
Here I am now, all Alice in Wonder
G           Am                      D
Partly I do this to myself, but why can't you see?
    G                     Am                     D
The gesture is small, but know that it means the world to me
       Am                   D
Oh, forgive me for wanting, I'm only learning
        Am                   D
I've forgiven myself and now there's no returning
G                Am                D
I want to be the one who knows the best way
G                Am                D
I want to be the one who knows the best way
G                Am                D           G
I want to be the one who knows the best way to love you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            Cm/A D7   G
But now I'm foolishly waiting for
Am                     D                       G
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
Am                 D
Someone to run not walk
    Am                  D
Oh, someone to sing not talk
    Am               D
Oh, no hesitation at all
    G            Am            D      G
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
       Am            D   G
I need you to be the one
       Am            D   G
I need you to be the one
       Am            D   G
I need you to be the one
 
 
[Outro]
 
   Am     D      G
Oh oh     oh oh  oh oh
Am        D      G
Oh oh     oh oh  oh oh
 
Am     D      G
