No capo.
[Verse 1]
D
If you're willing to wait
F#
for the love of your life,
Bm D (F)
please wait by the line...
(F)
And you know
F# Bm
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
F#
It crashed through the ceiling on me
Bm D (F)
And pinned me to the pine
(F) F#
And layer upon layer
Bm
Of hope and doubt
D
Will crush bones to oil in time
[Chorus]
B F# B C#m B F# E
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
C#m (Em) B F# E
I pull the weight towards me
B F# B C#m B F# E
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
C#m C#m E B E
Unless I have a woman pushing me
[Verse 3]
D F#
F# canopy of red-billed quelea
Bm D
Passed over the blue
(F)
F# five hour flock,
F#
Not one dives down,
Bm D (F)
To tell you the truth
(F)
As night falls
F#
F# quelea crawls
Bm D (F)
And whispers on his last wing
(F)
"So abundant are we,
F#
Left alone I shall be,
Bm D
But a waited phone never rings..."
[Chorus]
B F# B C#m B F# E
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
C#m (Em) E B E
I pull the weight towards me
B F# B C#m B F# E
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
C#m C#m E B E
Unless I have a woman pushing me
B F# B C#m B F# E
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
B F# B C#m B F# E
We could hold hands for 15 minutes in the sauna
B F# B C#m B F# E
We could hold hands for a pool length underwater
C#m C#m E B E
I can push and pull
Her
[Outro]
D
If you're willing to wait
F#
for the love of your life,
Bm D
please wait by the line...
End on F
