D - Dsus2 - D5/7 - D
Reaches out in the sun
D - Dsus2 - D5/7 - D
Shows my age
D - Dsus2 - D5/7 - D
I'm waiting on the day
When that voice comes to say
It's not wrong what you did
For just a kid
Will you be there for me baby?
Will you love me all the way?
When you take my side,In every little fire fight
When you hang your things and stay?
I'm waiting on the day
Waiting on the day
When these words are in stone
When the kids are all grown
And we go dancing
Oh can you do it baby?
Can you love me all the way?
Will you tie me tight
In little strands of paradise
Will you walk with me before the morning fades?
I'm waiting on the day

For the outro of the studio version you essentially play improve on a D chord and
alternate between three bass notes (first being Open D, Second being 3nd fret of
Open A and third being 2nd fret of Open A). Play around with that and tweak it to
whichever way suits you.

Waiting on a day
Where my thoughts are my own
When this house is my home
And plans are made
When you'll be there for me baby
When you'll love me all the way
When you take my side in every little firefight
When you hang your things and stay
I'm waiting on the day
When my life on the run
Reaches out in the sun
And shows my age
I'm waiting on the day
When that voice comes to sing
It's not wrong what you did
For just a kiss
When you'll be there for me baby
When you'll love me all the way
When you take my side in every little firefight
When you hang your things and stay
I'm waiting on the day
Waiting on a day
When these words are in stone
When the kids are out grown
And we go dancing
Oh can you do it baby?
Can you love me all the way?
Will you tie me tight in little strands of paradise?
Will you walk with me before the morning fades?
I'm waiting on the day
