Standing in the kitchen

Eyes like a wishing well

I think she wanted more
From kitchen floors

Eleanor, Eleanor

What were you waiting for?
Em
Some kind of miracle?
A D
Oh, Eleanor
Were you just terrified?
G
Of that truth that you might find
[Verse 2]

I know Eleanor (Eleanor, Eleanor)
G C
She curses like a poet, so what is she silent for? (Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor)
Oh, why don't you fight it?

Maybe things got too loud (Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor)
G
Maybe she's just too proud
[Chorus]

G
So come on now, Eleanor
I swear to God you wanted more
D
Didn't you say life was boring?
Didn't you used to sing glory?
G
Come on, oh, Eleanor
The world was knockin' at your door
D
And you just stood on your kitchen floor
You just stood there, Eleanor
G
What's next, not the sound of war
The glory you once say for
D
Come on, oh, Eleanor
D
What were you waiting for?
