I am waitin’ ’til I don’t know when
          A7sus4                 G
cause I’m sure it’s gonna happen then
           G/B                          G
Time keeps creepin’ through the neighborhood
            A7sus4                                       G
Killing old folks, wakin’ up babies just like we knew it would


        G/B                         G
All the neighbors are startin’ up a fire
                A7sus4                        G
Burning all the old folks the witches and the liars
            G/B                               G
My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids
                   A7sus4                          G
but my heart keeps watchin’ through the skin of my eyelids

           Cmaj7                  G
They say a watched pot won’t ever boil
              Cmaj7               G         G/F#
Well I closed my eyes and nothin’ changed
          Em            A             G
Just some water getting hotter in the flames

           G/B             G
It’s not a lover I want no more
             A7sus4            G
and it’s not heaven I’m pining for
                  G/B             G
But there’s some spirit I used to know
            A7sus4              G
That’s been drowned out by the radio

Cmaj7                             G
They say a watched pot won’t ever boil
                  Cmaj7         G     G/F#
You can’t raise a baby on motor oil
            Em               A                      G
Just like a seed down in the soil you gotta give it time
