VERSE 1:
   Am        C       G          D
   I've been waiting around all night
   Am        C       G     D
   Your warm kiss is on my mind
   Am         C      G        D
   A piece of you is all I've got
           Am    C          G         D     
   But the whole damn thing is what I want

PRE-CHORUS:
   Cadd9                                   D
   I've been waiting around here all night long
   Cadd9                        D               G
   Holding on to these memories until they come undone

CHORUS:
                Am  C   G     D
   My hands are tied
                Am  C   G     D
   My hands are tied
VERSE 2:
   Am          C       G     D
   Telephone's ringing by my bed
     Am         C          G         D
   I pick it on up and the line goes dead
     Am          C     G     D
   I splash some water on my face
   Am        C        G           D
   Clears my mind I'm out of this place

PRE-CHORUS:
   Cadd9                                   D
   I've been waiting around here all night long
   Cadd9                        D               G
   Holding on to these memories until they come undone

CHORUS:
                Am  C   G     D
   My hands are tied
                Am  C   G     D
   My hands are tied

VERSE 3:
      Am         C          G        D
   My nerves are frayed and I've had enough
         Am  C           G              D
   I'm a lot afraid that it'll hurt too much
   Am      C       G       D
   I can't seem to stop at all
       Am         C       G                D
   I'm plain wore through waiting for your call

PRE-CHORUS:
   Cadd9                                   D
   I've been waiting around here all night long
   Cadd9                        D               G
   Holding on to these memories until they come undone

CHORUS:
                Am  C   G     D
   My hands are tied

BRIDGE:
   Cadd9                       G
   Want you round here all the time
   Cadd9                               G
   Just can't seem to shake you off my mind

CHORUS:
                Am  C   G     D
   My hands are tied
                Am  C   G     D

   My hands are tied
