[Intro]
Am F C G x2
[Verse]
Am F C G Am
Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke 'til we're
F C G
staring at the stars and the rockets twinkling in the silvery night
Am F C G
Two sips of whiskey in the flask but I'm not gonna drink it I swear I'll make it last 'til
Am F C G
we're drinking out of the same glass again
[Chorus]
F C G G F
And though the sand may be washed by the sea and the old will be lost in the new
C G G F
four will not wait for three, for three never waited for two
C G G (let ring) Am
and though you may not wait for me, I'll wait for you
F C G Am x2
I'll wait for you
F C G
[Verse]
Am F C G
Got a polaroid picture in my wallet, I'm not gonna tear it no I'm not gonna spoil it
Am F C G
it's an unspoken heartbreak, a heartbroken handshake I take with me where I go
Am F C G
Three words on the tip of my tounge not to be spoken or sung or to whispered to
Am F C G
anyone 'til I'm screaming at the top of my lungues again
[Chorus]
F C G G F
And though the sand may be washed by the sea and the old will be lost in the new
C G G F
four will not wait for three, for three never waited for two
C G G (let ring) Am
and though you may not wait for me, I'll wait for you
F C G Am x5 (or fingerpick 2x strike chords 3x)
I'll wait for you aaah
F C G
[Verse]
Am F C G Am
Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke 'til we're
F C G
staring at the stars and the rockets twinkling in the silvery night
