Erasure - Waiting For The Day Chords & Tabs

Words and music by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell


Intro:
D                G    
  Ooh oh whoa      Ooh oh whoa
D                G

                    D
It was only for a fight
                           G
That I asked you to come in
                              A
But you brought me tumblin' down
                            D
And the walls came caving in
                           D
Won't you help me dry my tears
                           G
Help me roll away the years
                            A
Then perhaps I will forgive you
                        D
And the hurt will disappear

                      G
But in a fit of blind arrogance
           A                Asus4
You stood up and walked away
D                 G
If you'd given me half a chance
          A
I'll be waiting for the day
                    D
For the day that you
   Bm      D
Oh oh come back to me
                  A  G
Come on back to me
D   Bm      D
You oh come back to me

A  G  D  G
                          D
So forget the long goodbye
                      G
You never really tried
                             A
Threw the keys down on the table
                              D
You've got your sense of pride
                              D
Then you had to tell the world
                        G
Your story must be heard
                        A
Slammed the door behind you
                     D
Without a single word

                      G
But in a fit of blind arrogance
           A
You stood up and walked away
                D
The day that you 
   Bm      D
Oh oh come back to me
                  A  G
Come on back to me
D   Bm        D                             A  G
You   oh come back to me, come on back to me
D   Bm         D         A  G
You oh oh come back to me

Bb
You know I never had a single thought in my head, no I
D                         Bb
Never had a single thought

[breakdown, no chords]

                       D
Oh for the day that you

Oh oh come back to me, come on back to me
D   Bm         D                             A  G
You oh oh come back to me, come on back to me

D
You can be my lifelong friend
Bm
You can be the light of dawn
D
You can keep me close at hand
A                G
You can keep me safe and warm

D
I will be your fantasy

If you come and stay with me
D
I will try to give you all
A                G
Waiting for the night to fall

You can be the light of day

You can be my lifelong friend

You can keep me close at hand

Waiting for the day to end

I will be your fantasy
Bm
If you come and stay with me
D
I will try to give my all
A                 G
Waiting for the night to fall
