[Intro]
D   Bm   D   G (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
D                   Bm
Reasons to call include
D                G
Going after the kill
D                   Bm
I watched as love ensued
     Bm                         G
And I lost every ounce of my own free will
G                       A                       Bm
I see your mouth it's a healthy shade of pink
       G                        A                             Bm                A       G
But it’s only time that is keeping our bodies from sinking into the ground
 
[Chorus]
G                 D              G                       D
What are we waiting for oh what are we waiting for
 
[Verse 2]
D               Bm        D            G
I am a lot like you I see beauty in all
           D                   Bm7
But how long can we hold onto
       Bm                     G
This feeling we had just before the fall
G                        A                          Bm
You be the hero and i'll be the victim you save
        G                                 A
And we'll come full circle when I find myself
        Bm         A            G
Singing songs to you in your grave
 
[Chorus]
G                 D              G                       D
What are we waiting for oh what are we waiting
 
[Bridge]
G              Bm
I'm no good inside this mess
         E                       G
I'm a wild-eyed romantic and I'm drowning in my carelessness
G                                    Bm
And even when I'm with you and we're dreaming our big dreams
    E                                   Gm
I'm stuck somewhere between my two most dangerous extremes
 
[Chorus]
   G                  D       G                 E7     E
Oh what are we waiting for oh what are we waiting for
   G                         D
Oh what are we waiting for
 
[Outro]
D   Bm   D   G   D

Super great. I highly recommend playing the barre chords rather than the standard chords. Pick the base string and pick the DGB strings after and you’ll be playing it exactly right
