Verse 1:
     Dsus4     D          Aadd4      Dsus2
I've held your hand since nineteen - seventy nine
         Dsus4                 D
You were in a band (still am), yeah, but back then
        Aadd4                   Dsus2
You had hair and your smile was so sublime
      Bm                  C      G        D      D  Aadd4  Dsus2
And I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked
   Dsus4           D
You used to buy me scotch (still do), yeah
    Aadd4         Dsus2
But now too much is never enough
   Dsus4                D                        Aadd4
To take me back to that dance hall where you got thrown out
         Dsus2
'Cause they thought you were drunk (I wasn't)
Bm                             C                  G             D  D  Aadd4  Dsus2
You couldn't lie then, and you sure as hell can't lie to me now

Pre-Chorus:
Bm            C          G                 D     Aadd4    Dsus2
You stole the best years of my life (I'll give them back)
        G                               C              G          Asus2 A   Asus4
You got fat, and you're the thigh-high hemline I just can't stop sta - ring at

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

Post-Chorus:
D D Aadd4 Dsus2    x2

Verse:
    Dsus4   D           Aadd4         Dsus2
The flat we rented was a palace for my queen
      Dsus4                D
If by palace you mean that asbestos and beans
       Aadd4                   Dsus2
From a tin, and the gin that we brewed in the bathtub
    Bm                      C             G                  D  D  Aadd4  Dsus2
She sang, "Do you think I'm sexy?" and oh God, I really did
      Dsus4             D
You'd swoon, you'd sigh, working shifts 'til we cried
       Aadd4                  Dsus2
Oh, if one more guy calls me "darling" then I
         Dsus4                  D
Swear to you and to God, I will murder them all
        Aadd4                   Dsus2
All the bastards applaud when I show that I'm flawed
           Bm                             C      G                D  D  Aadd4  Dsus2
You're not flawed, darling, you're just a little under-rehearsed
        Bm
And I'd get in
             C                          G       D    D     Aadd4  Dsus2
And for some reason, you've painted the kitchen lime green

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

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

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

Post-Chorus:
D

Verse 2:
Bm                    C       G
I've loved you for a hundred years
Dsus2  Aadd4  Dsus2
Certainly fucking feels like it
Bm                        C             G             Dsus2
The minute I met you, the colours of my life began to pour
Aadd4 Dsus2
(I'm scared of the dark)
    Bm                      C             G              D
And now, even though you're mad and these memories won't stay
Aadd4 Dsus2
That's okay
Bm                   C                G                A      D
'Cause then I get to meet you for the first time every single day

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

Outro:
D
I will wait
C
And I will wait (I will wait)
G
And I will wait
Aadd4 D
And hope
D
And I will wait (I'll be waiting)
C
And I will wait
G
And I will wait
Aadd4 D
And hope (Ooh)
