Tom: C
G F C G
I'm singing to the bird with the broken wing that lives in your heart
F C G
And to every dark bruise that won't heal or even fade at all
[Chorus]
C G Bm
They say you apologized when you came out of the womb
C G
So aware of the pain, so close to the wound
F C G
Still I wonder, should I wait for you
[Verse 2]
G F C G
I'm singing to your ancient voice that lies buried alone in your chest
G F C G
Cause the deeper we walk into this valley, I know the less sunshine we will get
[Chorus]
C G
My whiskey girl, 40 years you've been true
Bm C G
My sweet 39 I suppose will have to do
F C G F C G
Still I wonder, should I wait for you
[Interlude]
C G C G
I asked for this in some mescaline haze
C G F C G F C G x2 G
I wanted to go with you, but I didn't know how short you would stay
[Verse 3]
G F C G
No one's coming tonight, it's cold it's dark and it's late
F C G
I won't keep you long standing angelically by them gates
[Chorus]
C G
I ain't no Romeo, but it's as close as I'll ever be
Bm C G
I tear out my brains just to set my soul free
F C G F C
Still I wonder, did you wait for me
G F C G F C G
Did you wait for me
