[Intro]
[D] [A] [G] [D]  x4

[Verse 1]
[D]           [A]             [G]         [D]
  One day I looked up and there you were
[D]               [A]        [G]              [D]
  Like a simple question looking for an answer
[D]          [A]       [G]                 [D]
  Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
[D]            [A]               [G]              [D]
 Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores
[D]               [A]              [G]          [D]
But what if I don't find you when I-- have landed
[D]                    [A]             [G]             [D]
  Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?
|* [D]                    [A]                [G]     [D]  *|
|* I think I know why the dog howls at the moon     *| x2

[Pre-Chorus]
       [D]   [A]   [G]   [D]        [D]   [A]         [G]        [D]
I say: De--la! De--la! Ngiyade--la!  When I'm with you!
[D]   [A]      [G]   [D]           [D]   [A]     [G]        [D]
De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la  I burn for you!

[Chorus]
[D]                           [G]           [A]              [Bm]
  I've been waiting for you all my life   hoping for a miracle
[D]                 [G]              [A]          [D]
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
[D]                           [G]           [A]               [Bm]
  I've been waiting for you all my life   waiting for redemption
[D]                 [G]                 [A]          [D]
I've been waiting day and night   I burn for you

[Verse 2]
[D]          [A]                [G]               [D]
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
[D]             [A]                [G]              [D]
The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
[D]            [A]               [G]                [D]
  If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
[D]            [A]                   [G]                   [D]
  If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you
|* [D]           [A]     [G]           [D]  *|
|*   I think I know,   I think I know *| x2
|* [D]                    [A]                [G]    [D] *|
|* I think I know why the dog howls at the moon   *| x2

[Pre-Chorus]
       [D]   [A]   [G]   [D]        [D]   [A]         [G]        [D]
I say: De--la! De--la! Ngiyade--la!  When I'm with you!
[D]   [A]      [G]   [D]           [D]   [A]     [G]        [D]
De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la  I burn for you!

[Chorus]
[D]                           [G]           [A]              [Bm]
  I've been waiting for you all my life   hoping for a miracle
[D]                 [G]              [A]          [D]
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
[D]                           [G]           [A]               [Bm]
  I've been waiting for you all my life   waiting for redemption
[D]                 [G]                 [A]          [D]
I've been waiting day and night   I burn for you

[D]                 [G]              [A]          [D]
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
