(Intro) 
D A G D  4x

(Verse)
D           A             G         D
  One day I looked up and there you were
D               A        G              D
  Like a simple question looking for an answer
D          A       G                 D
  Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
D            A               G              D
 Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores
    D               A              G          D
But what if I don't find you when I-- have landed
D                    A             G             D
  Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?
  D                    A                G     D
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon   
  D                    A                G     D
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

(Bridge)
D                           G          A             Bm
  I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle
D                 G              A          D
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
D                           G          A              Bm
  I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption

I've been waiting day and night I burn for you

(Verse)
  D          A                G               D
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
    D             A                G              D
The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
D            A               G                D
  If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
D            A                   G                   D
  If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you
D           A    G          D   
  I think I know, I think I know
D           A    G          D
  I think I know, I think I know
  D                    A                G    D
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
  D                    A                G    D 
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
