Emi                    D                           Emi
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
   nothing left to do when you're begging for a crumb
                   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
