D#m           C#         B              C#
You live the dream, but you're still a dreamer
D#m            C#        A#m          B
Your glass is full, but you're never fulfilled
D#m            C#          B              C#
Your grass is green, but their grass is greener
D#m          C#              A#m        B
You'll never make it to the top of the hill

 Chorus:
     C#                 F#                      C#      B
If this ain't enough, I don't know what you're waiting for
       C#                       F#                    C#       B
Is it money? Is it love? Is it something, but you're just not sure?
        A#m                               D#m
Well, I don't know what you're hoping to find
             G#m                  C#
but a happy heart and a peaceful mind
              A#m                D#m                     C#      B
And if this ain't enough, then I don't know what you're waiting for
        C#                            D#m
I just don't know what you're waiting for

You've come so far, but you keep pushin' farther
You've won the battle and you've won the war
You feel the burn, but you keep pushin' harder
But who the hell are you doing it for?

Chorus

G#m         C#              F#              C#           D#m
Some people got it all but never see what's under their noses, yeah
B            C#                         F#             A#       D#m
You've got a beautiful garden, but you never stop to smell the roses
B        C#                   F#          A#       D#m
If you stick or twist, then twist if you must, I suppose
                   G#m
But only if you're sure
                         C#7
It's really too big to ignore

                                      D#m  C#
I just don't know what you're waiting for
 B                      C#     D#m C#
Don't know what you're waiting for
  A#m                    B       D#m C#
I don't know what you're waiting for
 B                      C#     D#m C# A#m B
Don't know what you're waiting for
