 Intro: G    A    D A D F#m
        G    A    D A D F#m	

 G               A	               D  A  D F#m
 Look at them working in the hot sun
 G               A                     D  A  D  F#m
 the pilloried saints and the fallen ones
 G             Em                      D   Bm
 working and waiting for the night to come
                 G                 A                   Em  D
 and waiting for a, waiting for a, and waiting for a miracle

 G               A                      D  A  D  F#m
 Somewhere out there is a place that's cool
 G               A                  D  A  D  F#m
 where peace and balance are the rule
 G                Em                               D    Bm
 working toward a future like some kind of mystic jewel
                 G              A                     Em    D
 and waiting for a, waiting for a, and waiting for a miracle

 (Refrain)
   Bm
   You rub your palm
             A 
   on the grimy pane
                            Em
   in the hope that you can see
   Bm
   You stand up proud
         A 
   you pretend you're strong
                            Em   
   in the hope that you can be
   Bm 
   like the ones who've cried
            A
   like the ones who've died
                      Em
   trying to set the angel in us free
                             G
   while they're waiting for a 
               A                    Em D   
   waiting for a , waiting for a miracle


 Instumental: G    A    D  A  D  F#m
              G    A    D  A  D  F#m


 G                A                      D  A  D  F#m
 Struggle for a dollar, scuffle for a dime
 G                A                            D  A  D  F#m
 step out from the past and try to hold the line
 G             Em                        D     Bm
 so how come history takes such a long, long time
                         G
 When you're waiting for a
             A                Em   D
 Waiting for a, waiting for a miracle

 (Refrain)

 (Repeat these lines at the end of the refrain)
                           G
 while they're waiting for a 
             A                   Em  D   
 waiting for a , waiting for a miracle
                           G
 while they're waiting for a 
             A                          G  D   
 waiting for a , waiting for a miracle
