[Intro]
Eb  C#
 
[Verse 1]
Bb
Someone told me to call
Bb                 Ab
So I did and no one answered
Bb
And I don't hear a sound
Bb                Ab
But I know someone's laughing
F#                                Ab
I'm trying hard to keep my confidence
F#                              Ab
You take advantage of my innocence
 
[Chorus]
Eb
Where are you, how are you
C#
I wait for an answer
C#
Wait for an answer
Eb
It's been so long. I'll hold on
C#
And wait for an answer
C#
Wait for an answer
 
[Verse 2]
Bb
No one knows you
Bb                     Ab
What you go though, but I do
Bb
The phone keeps ringing
Bb
No one know what you're thinking
Bb   Ab
But I do, I do, I do
F#
They were laughing at you
F#              Ab
And I held out my hand
F#
I was trying to get through
F#              Ab
Without losing again
 
[Chorus]
Eb
Where are you, how are you
C#
I wait for an answer
C#
Wait for an answer
Eb
It's been so long. I'll hold on
C#
And wait for an answer
C#
Wait for an answer
 
[Verse 3; step up]
C
What's that you say I can't hear you
C
Are those words meant for me
C          Bb
As they appear to be
C
The tension in my voice awakes you
C                              Bb
You know who I am but my name escapes you
Ab
They were looking for you
Ab            Bb
And you started to run
Ab
If they asked about you
Ab           Bb
I wouldn't tell anyone
 
[Chorus; step up]
F
Where are you, how are you
Eb
I wait for an answer -
Eb
Wait for an answer
F
It's been so long. I'll hold on
Eb
And wait for an answer
Eb
Wait for an answer
 
[Bridge; step up]
G
The kind of woman I am
G
I do things that you can't understand
G               E     F
But there are times when you should check the line on my face
G       E   F  G  F
Don't look at me now
E     F  G   F
Look at me now
E     F  G  A
Look at me now
 
[Chorus; step up again]
A
Where are you, how are you
G
I wait for an answer
G
Wait for an answer
A
It's been so long. I'll hold on
G
And wait for an answer
G
Wait for an answer
G
I'll wait, you make me wait
E
Someone told me to call
