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
What are we saving for
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?
But what are we waiting for?
[chorus:]
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe
Am C Em (or G) D
Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground
It swells into the air
G (or Em)
With the rising
Rising sound
Am C Em (or G) D
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
What are we waiting for
What are we waiting for
[chorus]
(Bassline: A Ab G F#--Can play or not)
Am Ab (E pos. barre chord)
I am hiding from some beast
But the beast was always here
Am Ab (E pos. barre chord)
Watching without eyes
Because the beast is just my fear
That I am just nothing
(G)
Now its just what I've become
What am I waiting for
Its already done
Oh
[chorus]
