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