Tom: D
A
Always the days are the same, Monotonous rut and routine
D
Is it his fate to O.D., On biscuits and T.V.
A
Remembering someone at school, Mammouth mouth was his name
"What more could there possibly be", He said,
D D7 A
"For someone such as you, Such an empty-headed fool, You see?"
[Chorus 1]
F G Am F G Am
He sits there waiting patiently, He sits there waiting patiently
F G Am
Not knowing what he waits for, Uncertain what he wants for sure
F G A
Not knowing what he waits for, The one who yearns for something more

A
She's annoyed and she doesn't know why By the neighour who's fixing his car
D
He's spent so many hours underneath it now The bloody thing should fly
A
Their greetings float through her mind Like music you hear in a lift
Frustrations and feelings she can't control
D D7 A
Wake within her now, They churn within her now
[Chorus 2]
F G Am F G Am
She sits there waiting patiently, She sits there waiting patiently
F G Am
Not knowing what she waits for, Uncertain what she wants for sure
F G A
Not knowing what she waits for, The one who yearns for something more

The Prudential man is here, Oh please, just go away

So many bills to pay, Every day the same
