Inside it [Fm]feels like
[C]I’ve been barely breathin’
[D]Feels like air is runnin’ ou[A]t
Inside I’m [Fm]stuck here

[D]You put up to keep me do[A]wn,
[C]Down, down, down, down
[C]Wakin’ up without a name
[D]Open up my eyes,
Knowing nothin’ is the same
[C]Circlin’ around a drain
[D]As I realize
That there’s no one else to blame
**Chorus :**
You keep me w[Fm]aiting
D[G]own he[D]re, so far below
[C]Starin’ up fro[G]m the bottom
[D]Up from the bo[A]ttom

[D]Up from the bo[A]ttom
[C]Everybody out, that devil is coming
[C]Poison on his lips
[D]And his words mean nothing
[Fm]Cold like a mountaintop
Father never loved him
[Fm]Mama said he’s bad enough ti[G]mes
That it sunk in
[C]Everybody out, that devil is coming
[C]Promise you the world
[D]But he’s always bluffing
Be[Fm]fore you even know
It’s a trap you’re stuck in
He’s [Fm]gone like a ghost
Already off running

And a million small [A]prayers
[E]I’m [G]holding on tight
Hoping I’ll see you [D]later
If your only a [F#m]dream
That I see in my [A]head
Then I’m willing to sleep
[E]Till[G] I see you again
Cuz whe[D]rever you go
Through the [F#m]highs and the lows
I just [A]want you to know
[E]I’ll[G] be right there waiting
Whe[D]rever you are
It don’t [F#m]matter how far
I’ll look [A]up at the stars
[E]And [G]I’ll be waiting
**Chorus :**
Waiting for y[D]ou (I’m waiting)
For y[F#m]ou for you[A]
(I’m waiting, I’m waiting)
[E]I’ll[G] be waiting
I’m waiting for y[D]ou (I’m waiting)
For y[F#m]ou for you[A]
(I’m waiting, I’m waiting)
[E]I’ll[G] be waiting
[D] (I’m waiting for you)
**Outro :** {D} {F#m} {A} {E/G#}
