Waiting On a Wish

[Intro] D#  Cm  C#  G#

[Primeira Parte]

D#
Little girl at a lonely well
Cm
With the same little tale to tell
C#
Feeling trapped by the walls that hold her
G#
Feeling stuck in the story they've told her
D#
Another day where she fades away
Cm
Never daring to disobey
         C#
So she's dreaming all alone
        Dm              G
Sharing secrets with the stone

[Pré-Refrão]

Cm                        G#
My father told me long ago
                           D#
I braved a bitter storm of snow
                         Fm7  A#4    A#
Is that a girl I'll ever know again?

[Refrão]

                 F#
I'm waiting on a wish
                           C#
Beneath a thousand treetops
                        D#m
And as the silver sky stops
                        B
I send a whisper to the water
             F#
Waiting on a wish
                        C#
Holding out for someday
                         D#m
Hoping somehow, some way
                        B
I'll become my father's daughter
           F#
I close my eyes and see
             C#
The girl I'm meant to be
         D#m                    Bm
Is she a part of me I've yet to find?
           F#
Wondering, will she appear?
                C#
Or will I be forever here?
             F#
Waiting on a wish

[Segunda Parte]

D#
Little girl by a wild wood
Cm
As she tries to be someone good
C#
 But in the shadow the kingdom's caught in
G#
Somehow, fairness is long forgotten

[Pré-Refrão]

Cm                            G#
So will she rise or bow her head?
                          D#
Will she lead, or just be led?
                           G#m        A#
Is she the girl she always said she'd be?

[Refrão]

                 F#
I'm waiting on a wish
                           C#
Beneath a thousand treetops
                        D#m
And as the silver sky stops
                            B
I long to leave the walls behind me
             F#
Waiting on a wish
                       C#
Holding out for someday
                        D#m
Hoping somehow, some way
                         B
There comes a miracle to find me
           F#
I close my eyes and see
             C#
The girl I'm meant to be
         D#m                    Bm
Is she a part of me I've had to hide?
           F#
Wondering, will she appear?
                 C#
Or will I spend another year?
             D#m
Waiting on a wish

[Ponte]

                         B
They say all you have to do
                   F#
To make your wish come true is
       C#
Let it echo, echo, echo, echo
D#m                     B
Your voice will carry through
                F#
And bring that dream to you
             C#
Just like an echo, echo, echo
      E              B        F#
Well, I can hear the echo loud and clear
    F#9       A#m        B
But I'm still waiting here

( B )

[Refrão]

              F#  C#  D#m
Waiting on a wish
                        B
Beyond a whisper to the water
             F#
Waiting on a wish
                    C#
Is it almost someday?
                      D#m
Can I somehow some way
                        B
Learn to be my father's daughter
                  F#
Someone who could finally start?
                      A#7            A#
Start speaking with a fearless heart?
                 D#m
Someone who just might be brave?
               G#
Someone no one needs to save?
                   F#
Well, I can always dream, but then
                   C#       Bm
I wake up and it's me again
