[Bm] One, two, three, four.
[F#m] [E] [A] [Bm]
[F#m] [A] [Bm] You have always been a [F#m] runaway
Always [E] looking for a place that's safe
Cause you were [Bm] disappointed with the [F#m] world behind the [E] two of us
And I get [Bm] it why you feel that [F#m] way
Cause it [G#m] doesn't ever [E] seem to change
But have you [Bm] ever really tried to [F#m] trust something outside [E] yourself?
What [D] are you waiting [A] for?
[E] [F#m] Stand [D] that open [A] door
[E] [A] This is your life, never live [E] twice
Step [F#m] you to the other [D] side, there's so much [A] more
[E] What [Bm] are you waiting, what [F#m] are you waiting, what [E] are you waiting for?
[Bm] You don't have to be afraid [F#m] to believe [E] in something unexplained
Cause this [Bm] is where the road [F#m] begins and where the [E] healing starts
[F#m] Open [Bm] up your eyes my [F#m] friend
Cause this [E] is where the searching ends
And you [Bm] don't have to keep the [F#m] wounds and wounds [E] around your heart
