Lyrics
‘Waiting Place’ by Ryan Roger O’Toole (capo on F#)
B F#m
How long,
How long must we be made to wait.
To pay down,
Pay down the debt for mistakes they’ve made.
B7 F#m + B7 F#m
B F#m
Never
Never the one to complain.
You know,
You know it wont change a thing at all to complain.
B7 F#m + B7 F#m
No it wouldn't
C#m
Praying,
B F#m
Pray for the sun in your face.
C#m
Pray now.
B F#m
Pray you don’t die in this place____
(F# - G# - A)

‘Cause we can do, is wait.

All we can do is wait_____.
