I'll Be Waiting by Michael Franti & Spearhead




                                             I'll Be Waiting





Capo: 2nd fret

This is the full album version. The radio edit clips the intro, the first part of pre-chorus 1, and condenses
the outro. The C chord during the verses is actually "Csus4 C Csus4 C", but writing that in messes up the
formatting of the lyrics.
 
 
INTRO:
G C
 
VERSE 1:
G
The best things in life aren't things
        C
They're living and breathing
G
The best things in life aren't things
        C
They're something you can believe in
 
PRE-CHORUS 1:
      G
Well, do you believe me
      C
Well, do you believe me when I say
D
Tonight won’t last for long
C
And soon it will be gone
    G                 C
But I won’t leave you alone, no, no
 
CHORUS:
             G
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
             Em
Wherever you wander until you see me
        D                C           G
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting for you
             C
For you, for you, for you
 
VERSE 2:
G
The best things in life aren't things
        C
They're laughing and crying
G
The best things in life aren't things
        C
They're frightened, but they’re still fighting
 
PRE-CHORUS 2:
      G
Well, do you believe me
      C
Well, do you believe me (yeah) when I say
D
Tonight won’t last for long
C
And soon it will be gone
    G                 C
But I won’t leave you alone, no, no
 
CHORUS:
             G
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
             Em
Wherever you wander until you see me
        D                C           G
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting for you
             C
For you, for you, for you
 
BRIDGE:
Am
You said that you were leaving
         C
But it’s alright (alright), it’s alright (alright)
Am
You said that you were sorry
         D
But it’s alright (alright), yes, it’s alright (alright)
 
VERSE 3:
G
The best things in life aren't things
        C
They're broken and bleeding
G
The best things in life aren't things
        C
They’re chosen to believe in
 
CHORUS:
                G
So whenever you call me, whenever you need me
             Em
Wherever you wander until you see me
        D                C           G
I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting for you
             C
For you, for you, for you
 
OUTRO:
           G
And I say, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, 
G
Eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh
C
Eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh
       G
I say, it’s alright (eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh),
G
it’s alright (eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh, eee-ohh),
C                                   G
It’s alright, it’s gonna be alright now
