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