Waiting on the day/
When my though
ts are my own/
When this hous
e is my home/
And planes are
leaving/
Will you be th
ere for me bab
y?/
Will you love
me all the way
/
When you take
my side/
In every littl
e fire fight/
When you hang
your things an
d stay/
I'm waiting on
the day/
When my life o
n the run/
Reaches out in
the sun/
Shows my age/
I'm waiting on
the day/
When that voic
e comes to say
/
It's not wrong
what you did/
For just a kid
/
Will you be th
ere for me bab
y?/
Will you love
me all the way
?/
When you take
my side,/ In e
very little fi
re fight/
When you hang
your things an
d stay?/
I'm waiting on
the day/

Will you walk

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. Open for suggestions @ bendavidkremer@...gmail.com (minus
the ...) - I've purposefully "dumbed down" the song so that beginners etc would be
able to give it a crack.
Cheers,
Ben
