i don't want to ruin this gorgeous wonderful wonderful song, but the beauty
of it's mostly in the arrangement. those backing vocals, man. still, i'm
pretty sure these are the chords, so make it sound nice.
B Ebm
Is there a word or right to say
G#m
Even in this old fashioned way?
F#
Go make your move, girl
E
I'm not coming home
B Ebm
Would things have changed if I could've stayed?
G#m
Would you have loved me either way?
F#
Dressed to the blues
E
Day to day with my collar up
B Ebm
Decision sits, so make it quick
G#m
A breath inhaled from an air so sick
F#
I cursed the day that I learned
E C#m
Of the web you span (you had your hold till bleeding...)
E
Hey, hey, if it was up to me
G#m
I would've figured you out
F# B
Way before the year clocked out
E C#m
Oh, I hope you're waiting
E
Hey, hey, if it was up to me
G#m
I would've never walked out
F# B
So until the sun burns out
E C#m
Oh, I hope you're waiting
Ebm
We have lived as a child would care
G#m
With this vial to drink I dare
F# E
Only to cry all alone with your taste on tongue
B
Oh, where have you been if it hurts to be forgiving? Oh...

Ebm
Should we try this again with hope?
G#m
Or is it lost, give up the ghost
F# E
And should I die all alone as I knew I would
C#m
Then burn in hell, young sinner
E
Hey, hey, if it was up to me
G#m
I would've figured you out
F# B
Way before the year clocked out
E
Oh, I hope you're waiting
B F#
Listen well, will you marry me?
G#m
Are you well in the suffering?
E
You've been the most gracious of hosts, you may be invited, girl
F# B
But you're not coming in
F#
Listen well, will you marry me?
G#m
Are you well in the suffering?
E
You've been the most gracious of hosts, I may be invited, girl
F# C#m
But I'm not coming in
E
Hey, hey, if it was up to me, you had your hold
G#m
I would've figured you out
F# B
Way before the year clocked out
E C#m
Oh, I hope you're waiting
E
Hey, hey, if it was up to me, give up the ghost
G#m
I would've never walked out

So until the sun burns out
E
Oh, I hope you're waiting
B F#
Listen well, will you marry me?
