Capo 1st Fret
Am C Em (or G) D
The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
Am C G (or Em) D
Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back
Am C Em (or G) D
We do our time like pennies in a jar
What are we saving for[Am][C]
What are we saving for[G][D]
Am C Em (or G) D
There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins.
Am C G (or Em) D
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins
Am C Em (or G) D
We sit and grow our roots into the floor
But what are we waiting for?[Am][C]
But what are we waiting for?[G][D]
(chorus:)
[Am]So give me somethin[C]g to believe[G][D]
[Am]Cause I am living j[C]ust to breathe[G][D]
[Am]And I need somethin[C]g more
[G]To keep on breathing[D] for
[Am]So give me somethin[C]g to believe[G][D]
Am C Em (or G) D
Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground
It sw[Am]ells into the air[C]
G (or Em)
With the rising
Rising sound[D]
Am C Em (or G) D
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
What are we waiting fo[Am]r[C]
What are we waiting for[G][D]
(chorus)
(Bassline: A G# G F#--Can play or not)
Am G# (E pos. barre chord)
I am hiding from some beast
But the beast wa[G]s always here[D]
Am G# (E pos. barre chord)
Watching without eyes
Because the beast is jus[G]t my fear[D]
That I am[Am] just nothing[C]
Now its just wha[Em]t I[(G)]'ve become[D]
What am I waiting for[Am][C]
Its already done[G]
[D]Oh
