I Am Not Waiting Anymore

F           Bb         F
I am red in tooth and claw
F                     Bb         
God's favorite child, bloodied 
        F
from the brawl
F                   Bb          
This bitterness was killing me 
F   C  Bb
all along
F        C       F
I am not waiting anymore x2


Blowing through time like nickel 
slots
In a windowless room, on a credit 
card
Continues after the ad
Flash it like a semaphore, a vague, 
drafty metaphor
I am not waiting anymore


            C                    
I've been a keen eyed observer of 
     Dm            Bb
the movements of concentric parts
Gm                     F         
Of bodies of bones and breasts 
                       C
and unmapped chambers of hearts


Sand in hand has turned to glass
A Jeroboam filled with a life that's
 passed
Toss it off the balcony and listen 
for the crash
I am not waiting anymore


I spent eight long years working on 
my screenplay
It's a teen movie with young 
actresses that plays to the middle 
aged


I have read between the lines
I have been wrong every time
It burned up on the alter, but I am 
fine
I am not waiting anymore x3
