Nobody Waits

Tom: E

E         F#               A
 You only want me when I’m well
E         F#m              A
 You only want me when I’m okay
E      F#m        A
 And today I am unwell
E          F#m               A
 I take it you don’t find it charming


[Verse 2]
E         F#m                    A
 I’ll only want you once you’re gone
E         F#m7                 A
 I’ll only want you once it’s too late
E              F#m                  A
 And I’ve been angry and I’ve been wrong
Em       F#m            A
 And resolute in my absolution

Loving me is


[Chorus]
C#m7       B             E
  Leaving a kettle on the stove
     C#m7            B                A
Of a house where you never had the key
C#m7           B                E
 Are you still bothered by the ghosts
C#m7     B            A
 Do they ever mention me?
         F#              E F# A  E F#m7 A
 Do they ever mention me?


[Verse 3]
E         F#m7            A
 You only want me if I’m yours
Em         F#m7             A
 But I am no one’s for the taking
B E         F#m7              A
   We wake up cradled on the floor
           E
New Year’s Day
           F#m7
A spark, a flame
               A
You think you love me
                             B
Just because you watched me sleep


[Chorus]
C#m7       B             E
 Leaving a kettle on the stove
     C#m7          B               A
Of a house where nobody has the key
C#m7           B          E
 And you don’t know me anymore
      C#m7
It’s okay
     B              A
If nobody waits for me
     F#             C#m7
If nobody waits for me
     B              A
If nobody waits for me
     F#m            C#m7
If nobody waits for me
     B              A  F#
If nobody waits for me


[Solo]
C#m B F# x3

[Outro]
C# E         F#               A
    You only want me when I’m well
Em         F#m              A
 You only want me when I’m okay
