Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit – They Wait (Guitar)

        G
She waits

         C       G
For her time to come

         C       G         D         C
For the world to hum on a different note

        G
He waits

          C      G
For every Friday night

            C     G               D     C
To whet his appetite and take the antidote

Em                          C        G
Ain’t it something how the night can shine

          C        G               D       C
While you stand in line behind the velvet rope

Em                          C       G
Ain’t it something when the morning comes

      C       G              D       C
And desire becomes a little spec of hope

 C                              Dsus4 D
Somebody told her she was beautiful

C                          Dsus4 D
Every time she turned around

C                                       Dsus4 D
But when she opened up her mouth to speak

C                            Dsus4 D
It clearly didn’t make a sound

Cadd9                            Dsus4 D
Somebody told her she was dangerous

C                                          Dsus4 D
And she should watch the way that she dressed

C                                       Dsus4 D
That always seemed a little strange to her

C
And at her worst she did her best

        G
She waits

         C       G
For her time to come

         C       G         D         C
For the world to hum on a different note

        G
He waits

          C      G
For every Friday night

            C     G               D     C
To whet his appetite and take the antidote

Em                          C        G
Ain’t it something how the night can shine

          C        G               D       C
While you stand in line behind the velvet rope

Em                          C       G
Ain’t it something when the morning comes

      C       G              D       C
And desire becomes a little spec of hope

C                                Dsus4 D
Somebody told him you’re a man now

C                                Dsus4 D
Hide your tears behind your fists

C                                   Dsus4 D
There’s nothing left to understand now

C                                   Dsus4 D
You’ll keep your tension in your wrist

Cadd9                                Dsus4 D
And so he stepped out in the real world

C                            Dsus4 D
And didn’t know to ask for help

C                            Dsus4 D
Until he stumbled on a real girl

C
And she’d been down the road herself

       G
He waits

        C      G
For the end to start

           C         G
For her to break his heart

            D        C
To hear the truth at last

        G
She waits

         C       G
For the sun to rise

             C       G
Behind his midnight eyes

             D          C
And know the storm had passed

Em                          C        G
Ain’t it something how the night can shine

        C          G               D        C
Threw a bottle of wine against the bedroom wall

Em                          C          G
Ain’t it something when her eyes light up

         C       G                  D            C
And it’s exactly enough and you can let yourself fall

D                             Am                  Em
They moved together through a thousand little storms

D                          Am
Somehow the big one never came

D                          Am                Em
Used all their anger up to keep each other warm enough

D                              Am
Now every dark cloud looks the same
