G        D              Am    C D G 
1. Mother's waiting in the kitchen
   The elephant's waiting in the zoo
   The teacher's waiting in the classroom
   Em       D                C
   And I am waiting here for you
   
   G        D          Am    C D G
2. And the audience is waiting
   for the show that won't begin
   The artist's waiting at the backdoor
   Em      D              A7 Cm
   because nobody let him in

   G  D        Am
R: Why did she go?
                    C    D
   She said there's no tomorrow
   How did she know?
   Did anybody tell her?
   Em D      F   C 
   I can't explain
       Am                 
   I'm sitting in the corner
   C                   
   Staring at the wall
                 F        C   G
   And she won't be back again

3. Louise was waiting for a lover
   First he paid and then he came
   Now she's cooking for a baby
   The client wasn't seen again

R: Why did she go...

   A#             D7               
*: It's time you started
             Gm        C7
   to think seriously about
   Cm                          F
   Your future and your dreaming
   A#             D7             Gm        C7
   She said and didn't leave no room for doubt
   Cm
   That if I took her meaning
   G#
   There was no longer dreaming
   F                        G
   It's just a perfect screaming

R: Why did she go...

   She's back again
