No capo.
[Verse 1]
F#
If you're willing to wait
A#
for the love of your life,
D#m F# (F)
please wait by the line...
(F)
And you know
A# D#m
Dismissive prisms rainbow
But my native optimism
isn't broken
F# (F)
by the light
[Verse 2]
(F)
The idea of life without company
(F)
Crashed suddenly
A#
It crashed through the ceiling on me
D#m F# (F)
And pinned me to the pine
(F) A#
And layer upon layer
D#m
Of hope and doubt
F#
Will crush bones to oil in time
[Chorus]
D# A# D# Fm D# A# G#
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
Fm (Em) D# A# G#
I pull the weight towards me
D# A# D# Fm D# A# G#
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Fm Fm G# D# G#
Unless I have a woman pushing me
[Verse 3]
F# A#
A# canopy of red-billed quelea
D#m F#
Passed over the blue
(F)
A# five hour flock,
A#
Not one dives down,
D#m F# (F)
To tell you the truth
(F)
As night falls
A#
A# quelea crawls
D#m F# (F)
And whispers on his last wing
(F)
"So abundant are we,
A#
Left alone I shall be,
D#m F#
But a waited phone never rings..."
[Chorus]
D# A# D# Fm D# A# G#
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
Fm (Em) G# D# G#
I pull the weight towards me
D# A# D# Fm D# A# G#
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Fm Fm G# D# G#
Unless I have a woman pushing me
D# A# D# Fm D# A# G#
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
D# A# D# Fm D# A# G#
We could hold hands for 15 minutes in the sauna
D# A# D# Fm D# A# G#
We could hold hands for a pool length underwater
Fm Fm G# D# G#
I can push and pull
Her
[Outro]
F#
If you're willing to wait
A#
for the love of your life,
D#m F#
please wait by the line...
End on F
