Waiting for my Chance to Come Along

RICK (YOUNG)

[first note A below mid C]

V1 waiting for my chance to come along

Can’t be myself baby

Jump off the shelf baby

Living on edge for stars to get in line

When I can just be me

BR1 I am gonna sail my ship right in

Appearing at the Albert hall

I will be a star in the centre of the stage

Bowing proudly for my curtain call

V2 My old Mum has got the whole thing wrong

It’s about me baby / You wait and see baby

The right song will make me 10 feet tall

I want it baby now

INTERLUDE [Low register]

I wonder if when I reach the top

And climbing’s at an end

fear of falling is in my mind

Then who will be my friend

V3 Live for the kick when I can scream and shout

Blowing my horn baby

Blowing it free baby

Chillin’ loose and let it all hang out

Paradise street for me

BR3 Wonder if I’ll ever find the key

To unlocking this great big door

Life and me are like a carousel

Round and round and wanting more

V4 That elusive secret killer tune

Show it to me baby / I want to see baby

Everyone will be hearing from me soon

When I’m inspired at last

MIDDLE 8 ( in 3) [low E] It might be an elegant waltz

Played to make them twirl in the woods

A cheesy confection is fine

Just as long as I call it mine

V5 here it comes I feel it in my bones

I’m ready now baby / standing by and how baby

Everyone has a little superpower

Feelin it grow in me

BR 2 There will come a day and it’s coming soon

Going up in a puff of smoke

Prove it to myself and prove it to my friends

More than just a running joke

V6 had my fun now catch the last train home

Look in the mirror baby now it’s clearer baby

Happier now I have ever known

Feeling myself at last / feeling myself at last
