Dallas did an acoustic rendition of Boiled Frogs for LiVE@theVerge Bm 990700 G6 550000 G6/9 557700 G13 454000 D5 007700 Em 222000 A5 777000 [Intro]
Bm
Old man sits at his desk
One year from retirement,
G6
And he's up for review
Not quite sure what to do
D5
Each passing year
The workload grows [Verse]
Bm                  D5          G6/9            G13   Em
I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late

Bm
For things to come my way

D5                    G6/9   G13  Em   A5
It always ends up the same

Bm                   D5                   G13    Em
I must be missing, I must be missing the point

Bm                     D5           G6/9           G13   Em   A5
Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise
[Chorus]
G6                                 Bm
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

                    G6                                   Bm
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
[Verse]
Bm
Poor little tin man still swinging his axe,

G6                D5
Even though his joints are clogged with rust

Bm                     D5 
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away

Bm                   D5      G6/9
Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day

Bm                     D5          G6/9      G13   Em
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away

Bm                               D5                G6/9            G13 Em  A5
Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late
[Chorus]
G6                                       Bm
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

                    G6                                    Bm
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
[Outro]
G6                                       Bm
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

                  G6                                       Bm
Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die

    G6     A5   Bm
So, wait up for me   (x3)
