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