Verse 1:

Em Baby, I've been waiting D Em I've been waiting night and day I didn't see the time D Em I waited half my life away D There were lots of invitations Eb7(5-) B7 And I know you sent me some Em D But I was waiting C D Eb7(5-) B7 Em For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Verse 2:

Em I know you really loved me D Em But, you see, my hands were tied I know it must have hurt you D Em It must have hurt your pride D To have to stand beneath my window Eb7(5-) B7 With your bugle and your drum Em D And me I'm up there waiting C D Eb7(5-) B7 Em For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Verse 3:

Em Ah I don't believe you'd like it D Em You wouldn't like it here There ain't no entertainment D Em And the judgments are severe D The Maestro says it's Mozart Eb7(5-) B7 But it sounds like bubble gum Em D When you're waiting C D Eb7(5-) B7 Em For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Bridge:

Am Waiting for the miracle Em There's nothing left to do B7 I haven't been this happy Em Since the end of World War II Am Nothing left to do When you know that you've been taken Em Nothing left to do When you're begging for a crumb C Nothing left to do When you've got to go on waiting Eb7(5-) B Waiting for the miracle to come

Verse 4:

Em Yeah I dreamed about you, baby D Em It was just the other night Most of you was naked D Em Ah but some of you was light D The sands of time were falling Eb7(5-) B7 From your fingers and your thumb Em D And you were waiting C D Eb7(5-) B7 Em For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Verse 5:

Em Ah baby, let's get married D Em We've been alone too long Let's be alone together D Em Let's see if we're that strong D Yeah let's do something crazy Eb7(5-) B7 Something absolutely wrong Em D While we're waiting C D Eb7(5-) B7 Em For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Bridge:

Am Nothing left to do When you know that you've been taken Em Nothing left to do When you're begging for a crumb C Nothing left to do When you've got to go on waiting Eb7(5-) B Waiting for the miracle to come

Verse 6:

Em When you've fallen on the highway D Em And you're lying in the rain And they ask you how you're doing D Em Of course you say you can't complain D If you're squeezed for information Eb7(5-) B7 That's when you've got to play it dumb Em D You just say you're out there waiting C D Eb7(5-) B7 Em For the miracle, for the miracle to come
