Marbles

D
I've held your hand since 1979

You were in a band (still am), yeah,
 but back then
        A                       D
You had hair and your smile was so 
sublime
                          G     C 
And I chipped my teeth on every 
       D
joke you cracked


You used to buy me scotch (still 
     A
do), yeah
                    D
But now too much is never enough
To take me back to that dance hall 
              A
where you got thrown out
            D
'Cause they thought you were drunk 
(I wasn't)
                 G             C  
You couldn't lie then, and you 
                          D
sure as hell can't lie to me now



[Pre-Chorus]
G             C                  
You stole the best years of my 
         D
life (I'll give them back)
        C                  
You got fat, and you're the 
thigh-high hemline I  just can't 
      A
stop staring at



[Chorus]
D                              C
'Cause I will, I will wait and    
hope
G
Your eyes aren't rivers there to 
weep

But a place for crows to rest their 
feet
D                           C
And I will, I will wait and    hope
    D
And rest my head at night content

Knowing where my marbles went

[Verse 2]
                   A               
The flat we rented was a palace for
    G
 my queen
      D
If by palace you mean that asbestos 
and beans

       A
From a tin, and the gin that we 
brewed in the bathtub
    G                       C     
She sang, "Do you think I'm sexy?"
                      D
 and oh God, I really did


You'd swoon, you'd sigh, working 
shifts 'til we cried
A
Oh, if one more guy calls me 
"darling" then I
D
Swear to you and to God, I will 
murder them all
A
All the bastards applaud when I show
 that I'm flawed
                            C      
You're not flawed, darling, you're 
              G        D
just a little under-rehearsed


        C
And I'd get in
                            G      
And for some reason, you've painted
                  D
 the kitchen lime green
And I'd sink to the floor, what's 
    G
the point anymore?
    D
And you, you'd reply

With a glint in your eye (With a 
drink in your hand)
         A
Saying, "I don't know, but I'm here

Oh, dear God (I'm all yours), dear 
heart, don't cry"



[Chorus]
D                                  
'Cause I will wait, I will wait and 
C
   hope
G
Your eyes aren't rivers there to 
weep

But a place for crows to rest their 
feet
D                                
And I will wait, I will wait and    
C
hope
G
And rest my head at night content
                      D
Knowing where my marbles went

[Bridge]
                     C       G
I've loved you for a hundred years
D
Certainly fucking feels like it
G                         C      
The minute I met you, the colours
                     D
 of my life began to pour

(I'm scared of the dark)
G                           C    
And now, even though you're mad 
                        D
and these memories won’t stay

That's okay
G                   C            
'Cause now I get to meet you for 
                            D
the first time every single day



[Chorus]
                C
I will wait and    hope
G
Your eyes aren't rivers there to 
weep

But a place for crows to rest their 
feet
D                   C
And I will wait and    hope
    G
And rest my head at night content
              C
Knowing where my marbles went

I will wait
C
And I will wait (I will wait)

And I will wait

And hope
D
And I will wait (I'll be waiting)
C
And I will wait
D
And I will wait
C
And hope (Ooh)
