The Waiting Room

Am C               F
   Fight 'til your fists bleed, baby
Am         C             F
  Beat the fate-walls enclosing you, maybe
Am         C          F
  God will unlock the cage of learning
    E        Dm
for you, for you

Am                F
   Fight 'til your fists bleed, baby
Am                      F
  Kick and scream at the wicked things, maybe
Em                    D                     A#
  God will unlock the door you need to walk through
Am             F
  When will it happen, baby?
Am            F
  It could be near, but then maybe
E            D
 it could be far

[Chorus]
G                  D#                  D
Here we are in the waiting room of the world
        G#                               G
We will wait until you call our name out loud
         D#                  D
In the waiting room of the world
        G#                              G
We will wait until you call our name out loud
Am                    F
  And the battle will never end well
Am                    F
  You can't marry our heaven to your hell
Am                  F
  We, Prolific, and you, the Devourer,
Em      Dm
need to see
Am                F
  Some things are sacred, baby
Am                      F
  Why have you gone and trampled them lately
Em                  Dm                A#
  I guess it's just all a part of your way
               G#
You should be ashamed

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Am C           F                A
  I'm getting tired of fighting
E Em              D
  I guess I should ask,
Am         F
 "Do I go quietly down?
Am                F
  Do I kick, do I scream when I'm bound?
Am                  F
  Are you coming to open the door?
        E
Are you near?
        E
Are you near?
        D
Is it far?"

[Outro]
G                  D#                  D
Here we are in the waiting room of the world
G#                                      G
We will wait until you call our name out loud
       D#                  D
In the waiting room of the world
 G#                                     G
We will wait until you call our name out loud
D#                         D       D A G#
In the waiting room of the world
