The 9th track off of the newest addition to The Gaslight Athem's back catalogue 'American Slang.' If you don't have this album I highly reccommend it. One of my new all time faves! Here goes... Intro: F, A, F, A, F (the same as the verse) Verse:

^FThe cool is dead, baby go on to sleep ^ARest your weary head and lover bury me ^FAnd in the morning we'll start over again ^AThat's how they do it up on the ^Fscreen ^FSo me and my baby we would dance all night ^ABut I don't know the steps in my baby's time ^FTo do it like they do it for the girls uptown ^AI hear they light 'em up like the ^Fblues

Pre-Chorus:

So I'm ^Awaiting, so I'm ^Fwaiting And she's ^Awaiting, and she's ^Fwaiting

For us to ^Gremember...

Chorus:

Was I ^Agood to ^Fyou, the ^Fwife of my ^Gyouth Not ^Aanother soul could ^Flove you like my ^Frotten bones ^Gdo So ^AI will ^Fwait on the ^Fedges in ^Gbetween These ^FNew York ^Gstreets Where you and I would ^Fmeet

Post Chorus: F, A, F, A, F (the same as the verse) Verse 2:

^FFor 29 years we loved that line ^AAnd I would take it easy if I had your mind ^FBut I'm a cannonball to a house on fire ^AAnd you're slow like Motown ^FSoul ^FSo what now lover with your long black hair? ^AIf I cut you open baby I can repair ^FAnd bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue ^AAnd I'm the only one 'round ^Fhere

So I'm ^Awaiting, so I'm ^Fwaiting And she's ^Awaiting, and she's ^Fwaiting
