   D D A Dsus2

Verse 1:
     Dsus4     D          A          Dsus2
I've held your hand since nineteen - seventy nine
         Dsus4                 D
You were in a band -still am-, yeah, but back then
        A                       Dsus2
You had hair and your smile was so sublime
      Bm                  C      G        D      D  A      Dsus2
And I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked
   Dsus4           D
You used to buy me scotch -still do-, yeah
    A             Dsus2
But now too much is never enough
   Dsus4                D                        A   
To take me back to that dance hall where you got thrown out
         Dsus2
'Cause they thought you were drunk -I wasn't-
Bm                             C                  G             D  D  A      Dsus2
You couldn't lie then, and you sure as hell can't lie to me now

Pre-Chorus:
Bm            C          G                 D     A        Dsus2
You stole the best years of my life -I'll give them back-
        G                               C              G          Asus2 A   Asus4
You got fat, and you're the thigh-high hemline I just can't stop sta - ring at

Chorus:
       D                       C  C 
'Cause I will, I will wait and hope
     G
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
                         A   
But a place for crows to rest their feet
    D                       C C 
And I will, I will wait and hope
    G       nc
And rest my head at night content
nc
Knowing where my marbles went

Interlude -x2-: D D A Dsus2

Verse:
    Dsus4   D           A             Dsus2
The flat we rented was a palace for my queen
      Dsus4                D
If by palace you mean that asbestos and beans
       A                       Dsus2
From a tin, and the gin that we brewed in the bathtub
    Bm                      C             G                  D  D  A      Dsus2
She sang, "Do you think I'm xxxx?" and oh God, I really did
      Dsus4             D
You'd swoon, you'd sigh, working shifts 'til we cried
       A                      Dsus2
Oh, if one more guy calls me "darling" then I
         Dsus4                  D
Swear to you and to God, I will murder them all
        A                       Dsus2
All the bastards applaud when I show that I'm flawed
           Bm                             C      G                D  D  A      Dsus2
You're not flawed, darling, you're just a little under-rehearsed
        Bm
And I'd get in
             C                          G       D    D     A      Dsus2
And for some reason, you've painted the kitchen lime green

Pre-Chorus:
        Bm
And I'd sink to the floor, what's the point anymore?
    C
And you, you'd reply
       G
With a glint in your eye -With a drink in your hand-
         A
Saying, "I don't know, but I'm here

Oh, dear God -I'm all yours-, dear heart, don't cry"

Chorus:
       D                            C  C 
'Cause I will wait, I will wait and hope
     G
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
                         A   
But a place for crows to rest their feet
    D                            C  C 
And I will wait, I will wait and hope
    G
And rest my head at night content
                 A   
Knowing where my marbles went

Post-Chorus: D

Verse 2:
Bm                    C       G
I've loved you for a hundred years
Dsus2  A      Dsus2
Certainly xxxxing feels like it
Bm                        C             G             Dsus2
The minute I met you, the colours of my life began to pour
A     Dsus2
-I'm scared of the dark-
    Bm                      C             G              D
And now, even though you're mad and these memories won't stay
A     Dsus2
That's okay
Bm                   C                G                A      D
'Cause then I get to meet you for the first time every single day

Chorus:
D               C  C 
I will wait and hope
     G
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
                         A   
But a place for crows to rest their feet
    D               C  C 
And I will wait and hope
    G
And rest my head at night content
                 A   
Knowing where my marbles

Outro:
D
I will wait
C
And I will wait -I will wait-
G
And I will wait
A     D
And hope
D
And I will wait -I'll be waiting-
C
And I will wait
G
And I will wait
A     D
And hope -Ooh-
