They Wait chords by Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit

• Difficulty: Beginner

Chorus 1:

        G
She waits
         C       G
For her time to come
         C       G         D         C
For the world to hum on a different note


        G
He waits
          C      G
For every Friday night
            C     G               D     C
To whet his appetite and take the antidote
Em                          C        G
Ain’t it something how the night can shine
          C        G               D       C
While you stand in line behind the velvet rope
Em                          C       G
Ain’t it something when the morning comes
      C       G              D       C
And desire becomes a little spec of hope

Verse 1:

Dsus4 D
 C                              Dsus4 D
Somebody told her she was beautiful
C                          Dsus4 D
Every time she turned around
C                                       Dsus4 D
But when she opened up her mouth to speak
C                            Dsus4 D
It clearly didn’t make a sound
Cadd9                            Dsus4 D
Somebody told her she was dangerous
C                                          Dsus4 D
And she should watch the way that she dressed
C                                       Dsus4 D
That always seemed a little strange to her
C
And at her worst she did her best

Chorus 1:

        G
She waits
         C       G
For her time to come
         C       G         D         C
For the world to hum on a different note
        G
He waits
          C      G
For every Friday night
            C     G               D     C
To whet his appetite and take the antidote
Em                          C        G
Ain’t it something how the night can shine
          C        G               D       C
While you stand in line behind the velvet rope
Em                          C       G
Ain’t it something when the morning comes
      C       G              D       C
And desire becomes a little spec of hope


Verse 2:
Dsus4 D
C                                Dsus4 D
Somebody told him you’re a man now
C                                Dsus4 D
Hide your tears behind your fists
C                                   Dsus4 D
There’s nothing left to understand now
C                                   Dsus4 D
You’ll keep your tension in your wrist
Cadd9                                Dsus4 D
And so he stepped out in the real world
C                            Dsus4 D
And didn’t know to ask for help
C                            Dsus4 D
Until he stumbled on a real girl
C
And she’d been down the road herself

Chorus 2:

       G
He waits
        C      G
For the end to start
           C         G
For her to break his heart
            D        C
To hear the truth at last
        G
She waits
         C       G
For the sun to rise
             C       G
Behind his midnight eyes
             D          C
And know the storm had passed
Em                          C        G
Ain’t it something how the night can shine
        C          G               D        C
Threw a bottle of wine against the bedroom wall
Em                          C          G
Ain’t it something when her eyes light up
         C       G                  D            C
And it’s exactly enough and you can let yourself fall

Bridge:

D                             Am                  Em
They moved together through a thousand little storms
D                          Am
Somehow the big one never came
D                          Am                Em
Used all their anger up to keep each other warm enough
D                              Am
Now every dark cloud looks the same
