Verse 1:
   Dsus4Dsus4   D MajorD     Aadd4   Dsus2Dsus2
I've held your hand since nineteen - seventy nine
     Dsus4Dsus4         D MajorD
You were in a band (still am), yeah, but back then
    Aadd4          Dsus2Dsus2
You had hair and your smile was so sublime
   B minorBm         C majorC   G+G    D MajorD   D MajorD Aadd4 Dsus2Dsus2
And I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked
  Dsus4Dsus4      D MajorD
You used to buy me scotch (still do), yeah
  Aadd4     Dsus2Dsus2
But now too much is never enough
  Dsus4Dsus4        D MajorD            Aadd4
To take me back to that dance hall where you got thrown out
     Dsus2Dsus2
'Cause they thought you were drunk (I wasn't)
B minorBm               C majorC         G+G       D MajorD D MajorD Aadd4 Dsus2Dsus2
You couldn't lie then, and you sure as hell can't lie to me now

Pre-Chorus:
B minorBm      C majorC     G+G         D MajorD   Aadd4  Dsus2Dsus2
You stole the best years of my life (I'll give them back)
    G+G                C majorC       G+G     Asus2Asus2 A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4
You got fat, and you're the thigh-high hemline I just can't stop sta - ring at

Chorus:
    D MajorD            C majorC
'Cause I will, I will wait and hope
   G+G
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
             Aadd4
But a place for crows to rest their feet
  D MajorD            C majorC
And I will, I will wait and hope
  G+G    N.C
And rest my head at night content
N.C
Knowing where my marbles went

Post-Chorus:
D MajorD D Aadd4 Dsus2Dsus2  x2

Verse:
  Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD      Aadd4     Dsus2Dsus2
The flat we rented was a palace for my queen
   Dsus4Dsus4        D MajorD
If by palace you mean that asbestos and beans
    Aadd4          Dsus2Dsus2
From a tin, and the gin that we brewed in the bathtub
  B minorBm           C majorC       G+G         D MajorD D MajorD Aadd4 Dsus2Dsus2
She sang, "Do you think I'm sexy?" and oh God, I really did
   Dsus4Dsus4       D MajorD
You'd swoon, you'd sigh, working shifts 'til we cried
    Aadd4         Dsus2Dsus2
Oh, if one more guy calls me "darling" then I
     Dsus4Dsus4         D MajorD
Swear to you and to God, I will murder them all
    Aadd4          Dsus2Dsus2
All the bastards applaud when I show that I'm flawed
      B minorBm               C majorC   G+G        D MajorD D MajorD Aadd4 Dsus2Dsus2
You're not flawed, darling, you're just a little under-rehearsed
    B minorBm
And I'd get in
       C majorC             G+G    D MajorD  D MajorD   Aadd4 Dsus2Dsus2
And for some reason, you've painted the kitchen lime green

Pre-Chorus:
    B minorBm
And I'd sink to the floor, what's the point anymore?
  C majorC
And you, you'd reply
    G+G
With a glint in your eye (With a drink in your hand)
     A augmentedA
Saying, "I don't know, but I'm here

Oh, dear God (I'm all yours), dear heart, don't cry"

Chorus:
    D MajorD              C majorC
'Cause I will wait, I will wait and hope
   G+G
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
             Aadd4
But a place for crows to rest their feet
  D MajorD              C majorC
And I will wait, I will wait and hope
  G+G
And rest my head at night content
         Aadd4
Knowing where my marbles went

Post-Chorus:
D MajorD

Verse 2:
B minorBm          C majorC    G+G
I've loved you for a hundred years
Dsus2Dsus2 Aadd4 Dsus2Dsus2
Certainly fucking feels like it
B minorBm            C majorC       G+G       Dsus2Dsus2
The minute I met you, the colours of my life began to pour
Aadd4 Dsus2Dsus2
(I'm scared of the dark)
  B minorBm           C majorC       G+G       D MajorD
And now, even though you're mad and these memories won't stay
Aadd4 Dsus2Dsus2
That's okay
B minorBm          C majorC        G+G        A augmentedA   D MajorD
'Cause then I get to meet you for the first time every single day

Chorus:
D MajorD        C majorC
I will wait and hope
   G+G
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
             Aadd4
But a place for crows to rest their feet
  D MajorD        C majorC
And I will wait and hope
  G+G
And rest my head at night content
         Aadd4
Knowing where my marbles
