Lyrics
STAIRCASE
Capo 3
G Cmaj7 G CMaj7
G Cmaj7
I had to see your face
G Em
To tell you I was wrong
C
I needed to talk with you
C G D
I needed to, but you were gone....
Chorus
GaddB CMaj7v
I waited on the staircase
GaddB Em
I waited, oh so long
C
I never knew, that we were through
C G D
I never knew, 'til you were gone
You had to find a new place
Decided to be to be strong
I wanted to listen to you
I wanted to, but you were gone
Chorus
GaddB CMaj7v
I waited on the staircase
GaddB Em
I waited, oh so long
C
I never knew, that we were through
C G D
I never knew, 'til you were gone

Bridge
GMaj7/B Am7
We had such times together
GMaj7/B Am7
Our love was meant to be
GMaj7/B Am7
We thought we'd last forever
C D
Tomorrow, we'll see.
Guitar Break (chorus)
I have to give you your space
If we're to move along
If only you could try anew
If only you………
Chorus
GaddB CMaj7v
I'll be waiting on the staircase
GaddB Em
Singing you this song
C
Needing you, wanting you
C G D
Hoping you will come back home
GaddB CMaj7v
I'll be waiting on the staircase
GaddB CMaj7v
Waiting on the staircase
GaddB CMaj7v G
Waiting on the staircase
