1. Baby I've been waiting I've been waiting night and day
D Emi
I didn't see the time I waited half my life away
D Esdim H7
there were lots of invitations and I know you sent me some
Emi D C D
but I was waiting for the miracle
Esdim H7 Emi
for the miracle to come
2. I know you really loved me but you see my hands were tied
I know it must have hurt you it must have hurt your pride
to have to stand beneath my window with your bugle and your drum
and me I'm up there waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come
3. Ah I don't believe you'd like it you wouldn't like it here
there ain't no entertainment and the judgements are severe
the Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come
Ami Emi
*: Waiting for the miracle there's nothing left to do
H7 Emi
I haven't been this happy since the end of World War II
Ami
R: Nothing left to do when you know that you've been taken
Emi

C
nothing left to do when you've got to go on waiting
Esdim H
waiting for the miracle to come
4. Yeah I dreamed about you baby it was just the other night
most of you was naked ah but some of you was light
the sands of time were falling from your fingers and your thumb
and you were waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come
5. Ah baby let's get married we've been alone too long
let's be alone together let's see if we're that strong
yeah let's do something crazy something absolutely wrong
while we're waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come
R: Nothing left to do...
6. When you've fallen on the highway and you're lying in the rain
and they ask you how you're doing of course you say you can't complain
if you're squeezed for information that's when you've got to play it dumb
you just say you're out there waiting for the miracle
for the miracle to come
