When we started we thought we were great     Tho' nobody else agreed
A         B       D           E        A           B            E           E
Just you and I wasting our time       Playing and singing out of key
D                     E                A                            A
And they said we played too loud     'Cause we didn't play for their crowd
D           E                      A
But we just told them 'Wait and see'

We had no money but still we went on, trying to get some gear
A             B        D            E      A           B              E                 E
A smashed-up cymbal and an old snare drum, our financial state was clear
D                 E                A                            A
And they said we should give up,   Said we didn't have a hope
D           E                       A
And we still told them 'Wait and see'

We worked harder got better in every way, Got some other friends involved
A             B        D             E    A           B          E                 E
Pretty soon we found we knew how to play, We'd got all our problems solved
D             E          A                            A
But I swear to this day, I could see you drifting away
D           E                 A
But I told myself 'Wait and see'

G             D                   A             A
Then came the day you said    goodbye,
G             D               A             A
We tried to smile but had to cry
G        D            A            G           D             A
You knew that you'd be missed     But we wished you all the best
G                D                   A             A
But still we wished that you would stay


A             B          D         E      A           B              E                 E
'Til then you were a part of everything  And everything that might have been
A             B          D              E        A           B            E                 E
And now that everything has turned into what is  If you'd have waited you'd have seen
D                  E                 A                A
But you gave yourself the sack       Now there's no turning back
D           E                    A
Now all you future's 'Wait and see'
