[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] I was perched outside in the pouring [Em] rain, trying to make myself a sail,
Then [G] I'll float to you my darling, [D] with the evening on my tail.
Although [Am] not the most honest means of travel, [Em] it gets me there nonetheless.
_ [G] My heart was mine, I'd worship _ [D] even a helpless one at best.
[Am] Darling, I'll leave your skin, _ [Em] I'll even wash your _ clothes,
Just give [G] me some candy _ before _ [D] I go. _
Oh darling, [Am] I'll kiss your _ eyes, and lay [Em] you down on your rug,
Just give [G] me some candy _ _ _ [D] after my _ _ hug.
Lord, [Am] I'm often found explaining, _ [Em] but to hurt things I'd all seem.
And [G] although I'm left defeated, it [D] gets held against my name.
I know [Am] you've got plenty to offer baby, _ [Em] but I guess I've taken quite enough.
Well, I'm [G] some stain there on your bed sheet, you're [D] my diamond in the rough.
Darling, [Am] I'll leave your skin, I'll [Em] even wash your clothes,
Just give [G] me some candy _ _ before _ [D] I go. _
Oh darling, [Am] I'll kiss your eyes, and lay [Em] you down on your rug,
Just give [G] me some candy _ _ _ after [D] _ my _ _ hug.
Lord, [Am] I _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] know _ that there are items on [D] the wall, _ _ _
But darling, [Am] I'll leave your skin, I'll [Em] even wash your clothes,
Just give me [G] some candy _ _ before _ [D] I go.
Oh darling, [Am] I'll kiss your _ eyes, and lay you [Em] down on your rug,
Just give [G] me some candy _ _ _ after _ [D] my _ _ _ hug.
[C] Lord, _ I'll be there waiting [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ for you. _
Oh, [C] _ _ I'll be there waiting [G] for _ you. _
_ [C] Oh, _ I'll be there waiting [Em] for _ you. _
Oh, [C] _ _ I'll be there waiting [G] for you. _ _ _
Oh, [C] _ I'll be there waiting [Em] for _ you.
And _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
they're dragging [G] on, all of them are fucking waiting and waiting,
[C] All the cheap, and the shimmy, and the [Em] washing,
And I'm talking all the things, waiting and [C] waiting.
_ _ _ _ And they're _ [G] _ _ _ _ hanging and waiting, [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ and they're scaring,
_ _ [G] _ _ And just waiting and waiting, _ [C] _ _ and waiting,
And _ _ [Em] _ _ always keep me waiting and waiting. _ _ _ _ _
