Verse 1:
C#m              B      A                      E
I'll take your words as if you were talking to me,
   C#m         B                   A                   E
So say what I know you'll say and say it through your teeth.


Pre-chorus:
C#m         B                   A     E
Now in the deep and down your heart moves. 
C#m         B                A                 E            A    E
Now in the deep and down, I don't know how but I know I want out. 


Chorus:
F#m
Wait for something better,
     A                         E
Will I know when it can be us? 
F#m
Wait for something better,
  A                         E
Maybe that doesn't mean us. 
F#m
Wait for something better? 
    A                         E
I shouldn't, it's not enough. 
     F#m                A
Pull one excuse from another...


Verse 2:
And with pride, keep every failure in.
And with pride, hold on to your sinking.


[Repeat pre-chorus]


Chorus:
F#m
Wait for something better,
     A                         E

F#m
Wait for something better,
