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