F#
I don't know why
                     D#m
I don't want anybody else but you
                B
No one can ever add up to
         F#
What you are

        F#
Simple words
                 D#m
That I can never say to you
                   B
Things that I can never do
        F#     C#
When I was younger

Chorus:
    B       A#m
But I don't know
     B           D#m
In which way the wind blows
    B           F#   C#
But I know I'll be alright
    B       A#m
And I don't know
    B             D#m
If you think I'm crazy
    B          F#    C#
But if you say maybe I
         F#   F#/C# D#m C#  B
I'd say love don't wait in line
     F#   C#    B       F#
No, love don't wait in line

If I say
I don't care what you do with him
If every time I lose you win
Then I'd be lying
But I'd better learn
Oh, I'd better learn to sink or swim
Cause the pieces of my heart are getting dim
But I'll find the light

Chorus:
And I don't know
Which way the wind blows
But I know I'll be alright
And I don't know
If you think I'm crazy
But if you say maybe I
I'd say love don't wait in line
No, love don't wait in line oooh

Times they change
And our lives they rearrange
We were just a burning flame
With bad timing

Oh but love don't wait in line
No, love don't wait in line
In line oooh
