The Waiting by Angel Olsen
From the album Half Way Home.
Tabbed by Laxan.
I hastily wrote down the lyrics, so there may be errors.
Worked out the tab using this video of her playing live:

All open chords except for G and Cm which are played as a barre chord.
Enjoy!
Cm G G
Here you come along,
[Am]I take a breath and remi[D]nd myself that [G]I too can be strong
[Am]Thought I was cool, turn[D]s out I'm a fool
[Am]Clearly you've proved me[D] wrong
[G]I didn't know what I was [Am]missing when[D] I was alone.[G]
Chorus:
Cm G G
And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for
[Am]Someone not thinking bef[D]ore they start rushing[G] to my door
[Am]Someone to run n[D]ot walk
[Am]Oh, someone to s[D]ing not talk
[Am]Oh, no hesitiati[D]on at all
[G]Sometimes I need[Am] you to be the [D]one to c[G]all
[Am]Well im lost in my thoughts[D] they tumble ahead
[Am]Over and over again,[D] yeah it's true
Cm G G
Just take a look at what's been done to me
Cm G
I wasted time to ponder
Cm G
Here I am now, all Alice in Wonder
[G]Partly I do this[Am] to myself but why can[D]'t you see
[G]The gesture is s[Am]mall but know that it m[D]eans the world to me
[Am]Oh, forgive me for wanting, [D]I'm only learning life
[Am]Forgiven myself and now, the[D]re's no returning
[G]I want to be the[Am] one who knows [D]the best way
[G]I want to be the[Am] one who knows [D]the best way
[G]I want to be the[Am] one who knows [D]the best way to[G] love you
Cm G G
But now I'm foolishly waiting for
[Am]Someone not thinking bef[D]ore they start rushing [G]to my door
[Am]Someone to run not[D] walk
[Am]Oh, someone to sing not[D] talk
[Am]Oh, no hesitation at [D]all
[G]Sometimes I need[Am] you to be the[D] one to ca[G]ll
[G]I need y[Am]ou to be the[D] one[G]
[G]I need y[Am]ou to be the[D] one[G]
[G]I need y[Am]ou to be the[D] one[G]
Outro:
[G] [Am] [D] [G]
[G] [Am] [D] [G]
Note: I think the G she uses is a weird variation that I can't seem to find, but
this is close enough for now.
If you have a correction, please put it in the comments and I'll edit, thanks.
