This is in a lower key than the original for those not of the female persuasion. I
actually play it with the capo on 2.
C Fsus2
You wait for a silence
C G
I wait for a word
Gsus4 Fsus2
Lying next to your frame
C G
Girl unobserved
Gsus4 Fsus2
You change your position
C G
You're changing me
Gsus4 Dm7
Casting these shadows
G C
Where they shouldn't be
C Fsus2
We're interrupted
C G
By the heat of the sun
Gsus4 Fsus2
Trying to prevent
C G
What's already begun
Gsus4 Fsus2
You're just a body
C G
I can smell your skin
Gsus4 Dm7
And when I feel it
G C
You're wearing thin
***
Dm Am Fsus2
But I've got a plan
G Am
Why don't you be the artist
Fsus2 C
And make me out of clay?
G Am
Why don't you be the writer
Fsus2 C
Decide the words I say?
Cmaj9 Am7 Dm7
Cause I'd rather pretend
G Am
I'll still be there at the end
Cmaj9 C Dm7
Only it's too hard to ask
Gsus2 G
Won't you try to help me?
***
Sat on your sofa
It's all broken springs
This isn't the place for
Those violin strings
I try out a smile
And I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do

Chorus

Fsus2
You wait I wait
