[Verse 1]
A
All day I'm waiting
D A Bm F#m
waiting on something I'm not sure I want
D A Bm F#m
waiting in line for this key to get cut
D
and when the grinding starts
A
it's like it's inside my heart
[Verse 2]
A
One for the neighbours
D A Bm F#m
though I never lock up and I never go out
D A
Was there ever a house
Bm F#m
half as empty as ours
D
after you moved out
A
and only I remained?
[Instrumental]
A A/B C
[Chorus]
D
They say everything changes,
G C
that it all fades away
C D
but why does this pain make me
A Bm F#m E A D
wait in vain?
[Instrumental]
A
[Verse 3]
A D
Like the birds in their circles that watch us
A Bm F#m
go around, and they try to sing out
D A Bm F#m
cause as surely as all the young lovers bend down
D
They’re soon sewed out
A
their tears water the ground
[Instrumental]
A A/B
[Chorus]
C D
But looking over the valley,
G C
looking over the street
C D
nothing ever comes at me
A Bm F#m E A D
even half as sweet
[Outro]
D D/A A
