Wye Oak - Watching the Waiting (Official Music Video) chords
Start Jamming...
[D] I'm fine.
When I [G]
laid [F#m] my bed
There was [Bm] something
For which I did not [A] account
[D] I could not have [G] seen myself here
[D] In a place I've [A] been before
[D] Seeing [G] everything all over
[D] As if I could [A] really know
As if I could [D] truly
Say [Em] it's [F#m] about time
But you [Bm] know I'm not used
[Em] To public [A] love
And [D] there is nowhere [G] I need to go
And [D] there is nothing [A] left to do
And I'm sitting [G] watching myself
[D] Watching [A] you
[D] Watching the waiting
What [Em] happens to [F#m] a star?
[Bm] My muscle memory
[Em] Is keeping [A] me up
[D] Real [G] memories are so
[D] [A] Similarly cruel
[D] To see his [G] face
In front of me
[D] I'm not sure
[A] Of the blue
For [D] no reason at all
That [Em]
goes [F#m] to the coast
I'll be happy [Bm] to tell you
[Em] Since I saw the [A] end
[D] But like the [G] dark Settles in
[D] To another [A] long night
[D] I keep my [G] soul in danger
[D] In the name [A] of Magnus
And [D] keep my eyes open
[Em]
[F#m]
[Bm] [Em]
[A] [D]
[G] [D]
[A] [D]
[G] [D]
[A]
[D] And now I'm [Em]
only [F#m] safe
There are [Bm] times
When you're not there to me
You're [Em] sitting there with [A] me
[D] And I wonder [G] how this moment
[D] Could [A] possibly be
[D] And how much would [G] it matter to you
[D] Who would [A] chase me
And I [D] couldn't care less
But it [Em] all [F#m] adds up
And I feel [Bm] like I'm lost
[Em] And I need [A] more
And [D] there is nowhere [G] I need to go
And there [D] is nothing [A] left to do
And [D] I'm sitting [G] watching myself
[D] Watching [A] you [D] Watching me
[Am]
[G]
