E B A B
On the high-rise estate
G#m A B
What's at the back of your mind ?
E B
Oh, on a three-day debate
A B
On a high-rise estate
G#m A B
What's at the back of your mind ?
E B A B
Two icy-cold hands conducting the way
G#m A B
It's the Eskimo blood in my veins
E B
Amid concrete and clay
A B
And general decay
G#m A B
Nature must still find a way
E B A B
So ignore all the codes of the day
G#m A B
Let your juvenile influences sway
E B
This way and that way and
A B
This way and that way
G#m A
God, how sex implores you
F#
To let yourself lose yourself
[Chorus 1]
C#m E
Stretch out and wait
C#m E C#m
Stretch out and wait
E A B
Let your puny body lie down, lie down
A B
As we lie, you say

Let your puny body lie down, lie down
[Verse 2]
A B
As we lie, you say
C#m F#
Will the world end in the night time ?
A B
(I really don't know)
C#m F#
Or will the world end in the day time ?
A B
(I really don't know)
C#m F#
And is there any point ever having children ?
A B
Oh, I don't know
F# A B
What I do know is we're here and it's Now
[Chorus 2]
E B
So ... stretch out and wait
A B
Stretch out and wait
G#m A B
There is no debate, no debate, no debate
E B A B
How can you consciously contemplate
G#m A
When there's no debate, no debate ?
B E B A
Stretch out and wait
B G#m A
Stretch out and wait
B E B
Stretch out and wait
A B
Wait
