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