[D] One day I [A] looked up and there you [D] were
[D] Like a simple question [G] looking for an [D] answer
[D] Now I am the whale [A] listening to some [D] inner call
[D] Swimming blindly to throw my[G] self upon your [D] shore
[D] What if I don't [A] find you when I [D] have landed?
[D] Would you leave me [G] here to die [D] on your shore stranded?
I [D] think I know why the [A] dog howls at the [D] moon
I [D] think I know why the [G] dog howls at the [D] moon
I sing [D] de[A] la, de[D] la Ngyanya, [D] dela. When [G] I'm with [D] you
[D] De[A] la, son[D] dela mama Son[D] dela, [G] I burn for [D] you
[D] I've been waiting for you [G] all my life, [A] hoping for a [Bm] miracle
[D] I've been waiting [G] day and night, [A] day and [Bm] night
[D] I've been waiting for you [G] all my life, [A] waiting for re[Bm] demption
[D] I've been waiting [G] day and night, I [A] burn for [Bm] you
A [D] blind bird [A] sings inside the cage that is my [D] heart
The [D] image of your [G] face comes to me when I'm alone [D] in the dark
If [D] I could [A] give a shape to this ache that I [D] have for you
[D] If I could [G] find the voice that says the words that [D] capture you
[D] I think I [A] know, [D] I think I know
[D] I think I [G] know, [D] I think I know
I [D] think I know why the [A] dog howls at the [D] moon
I [D] think I know why the [G] dog howls at the [D] moon
I sing [D] de[A] la, de[D] la Ngyanya, [D] dela. When [G] I'm with [D] you
[D] De[A] la, son[D] dela mama Son[D] dela, [G] I burn for [D] you
[D] I've been waiting for you [G] all my life, [A] hoping for a [Bm] miracle
[D] I've been waiting [G] day and night, [A] day and [Bm] night
[D] I've been waiting for you [G] all my life, [A] waiting for re[Bm] demption
[D] I've been waiting [G] day and night, I [A] burn for [Bm] you
Son[D] de[A] la, son[D] dela mama Son[D] dela, [G] I burn for [D] you
[D] I've been waiting for you [G] all my life, [A] hoping for a [Bm] miracle
[D] I've been waiting [G] day and night, [A] day and [Bm] night
[D] I've been waiting for you [G] all my life, [A] waiting for re[Bm] demption
[D] I've been waiting [G] day and night, I [A] burn for [Bm] you
[D] Burn for [G] you, I [A] burn for [Bm] you
[D] Burn for [G] you, I [A] burn for [Bm] you
[D] Burn for [G] you, I [A] burn for [Bm] you
[D] Burn for [G] you, I [A] burn for [Bm] you
[D] Burn for [G] you, I [A] burn for [Bm] you
[D] Burn for [G] you, I [A] burn for [Bm] you
