Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 While she lays sleeping

 I stay out late at night and sing my songs

And sometimes all the nights can be so long

 And it's good when I finally make it home -

 All alone

 While she lays dreaming

 I try to get undressed without the light

Then she quietly says how was your night

 And I come to her and say it was all right -

And I hold her tight

Chorus

 And she believes in me

I'll never know just what she sees in me

  +7 ( / )

I told her someday if she was my girl

 I could change the world with my little songs -

 I was wrong

 But she has faith in me

And so I go on trying faithfully

And who knows, maybe on some special night

+7

If my song is right

 I will find a way

Find a way . . .

 While she lays waiting

 I stumble to the kitchen for a bite

Then I see my old guitar in the night

 Just waiting for me like a secret friend -

 And there's no end

 While she lies crying

 I fumble with a melody or two

Then I'm torn between the things that I should do

 Then she says to wake her up when I am through

 God her love is true

Chorus

 While she waits, while she waits for me
