Intro: Am Em G D
 
[Verso 1]
Am
I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Em
Trying to make myself a sail
G
Then I'll Float to you my Darling
D
With the evening on my tail
Am
Although not the most honest means of travel
Em
It gets me there none the less
G
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
D
and a helpless one at best
 
[Refrão] Am
Darling I'll bathe you're skin
Em
I'll even wash you're clothes
G D
Just bring me some candy, before I go
Am
oh darling I'll kiss your eyes
Em
and lay you down on your rug
G D
Just bring me some candy, after my heart
 
[Verso 2]
Am
Oh and i'm often false explaining
Em
but to her it plays out all the same
G
and although I'm left defeated
D
it still gets held against my name
Am
I know you've got plenty to offer baby
Em
but I guess I've taken quite enough
G
I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
D
your my diamond in the rough*
 
(Chorus)
C G
Know that I'll be there waiting for you
C G
oh I'll be there waiting for you
C D
I'll be there waiting for you
 
(repeat)
C
All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
G
all of them have got me waiting and waiting
C
All the cheap and sugary philosophies
G
Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
C
all the angels and their halos
D
all they do is keep me waiting and waiting
 
(repeat)
