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