F
If you're willing to wait
A
for the love of your life,
Dm F (F)
please wait by the line...
(F)
And you know
A Dm
Dismissive prisms rainbow
But my native optimism
isn't broken
F (F)
by the light
(F)
The idea of life without company
(F)
Crashed suddenly
A
It crashed through the ceiling on me
Dm F (F)
And pinned me to the pine
(F) A
And layer upon layer
Dm
Of hope and doubt
F
Will crush bones to oil in time
D A D Em D A G
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
Em (Em) D A G
I pull the weight towards me
D A D Em D A G
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Em Em G D G
Unless I have a woman pushing me
F A
A canopy of red-billed quelea
Dm F
Passed over the blue
(F)
A five hour flock,
A
Not one dives down,
Dm F (F)
To tell you the truth
(F)
As night falls
A
A quelea crawls
Dm F (F)
And whispers on his last wing
(F)
"So abundant are we,
A
Left alone I shall be,
Dm F
But a waited phone never rings..."
D A D Em D A G
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
Em (Em) G D G
I pull the weight towards me
D A D Em D A G
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Em Em G D G
Unless I have a woman pushing me
D A D Em D A G
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
D A D Em D A G
We could hold hands for 15 minutes in the sauna
D A D Em D A G
We could hold hands for a pool length underwater
Em Em G D G
I can push and pull
Her
F
If you're willing to wait
A
for the love of your life,
Dm F
please wait by the line...
End on F
