xDiamond and a Tether
I'm not sure about the Am part in the verses
Verses:
G C G C
Pity, take pity on me
Am Am/B C G
Because I'm not the man that I should be
G C G C
I'm always turning to run
Am Am/B C G
From the people I should not be afraid of
G C G C
And darling, you should know
Am Am/B C G
That I have fanta-sies about being alone
G C
It's like love is a lesson
G C
That I can't learn
Am Am/B C G
So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn
Chorus:
Em C
I know you can't hold out forever
Em C
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
Em C
From a boy who won't swim
B7 Em
Who won't dip his toe in
A7 C G
Just to keep you here with him
I've got this habit I abhor
When we go out, I'm always watching the door
As if there's someone I'm going to see
Who could out-do the things that you do to me
I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't fly
Who won't take to the skies
If he thinks you're about to say goodbye
Pity, take pity on me
Because I'm not half the man that I should be
And I don't blame you, you've had enough
With all these empty promises and countless bluffs
Chorus with a different bit at the end:
Em C
I know you can't hold out forever
Em C
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
Em C
From a boy who won't jump
B7 Em
When he's falls in love
A7 C Em
He just stands with his toes on the edge
A7 C G
And he waits for it to disappear again
