[Chorus]
Gm                        Dm
How long must I wait, how long must I wait

         F                         Em
'Til the mountains of avarice turn blue?

    Gm                    Dm
How long must I wait, how long must I wait

         F                       C  Gm  Ab Bb Gm  Ab C
'Til the moleskin I pick becomes fuse?
[Verse 1]
Gm                              Ab            Bb
Avulsion limps its spurs in the pinches of my earth

    Gm                      Ab      C
The dust I kick from animus shatters

Gm                                Ab              Bb
Recorded on my reels of tape, the trauma stops my flow

                        Ab
And in your suppression tastes sulfur
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                Gm   Ab Bb Gm
Hear the children say

Ab             C     Gm  Ab Bb Gm  Ab
Tear of mended sails
[Chorus]
    Gm                    Dm
How long must I wait, how long must I wait

         F                         Em
'Til the mountains of avarice turn blue?

    Gm                    Dm
How long must I wait, how long must I wait

         F                       E    Gm  Ab Bb Gm  Ab
'Til the moleskin I pick becomes fuse?
[Verse 2]
C     Gm            Ab  Bb      Gm              Ab
As if suddenly your avalanche reverses my polarity

    Gm       Ab          Bb
And secretly come Sunday morning

Gm                           Ab    Bb   Gm  Ab Bb Gm
Standing at the pulpit to an empty room
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                Gm   Ab Bb Gm
Hear the children say

Ab             C     Gm  Ab Bb Gm  Ab
Tear of mended sails
[Chorus]
    Gm                    Dm
How long must I wait, how long must I wait

         F                         Em
'Til the mountains of avarice turn blue?

    Gm                    Dm
How long must I wait, how long must I wait

         F                       E    
'Til the moleskin I pick becomes fuse?
[Interlude] Gm Cm Bb Gm Cm Bb Gm [Outro]
Gm                           Cm
The drowning water you drink passed on by birth

       Bb                Gm
I'm no longer willing to give you control

                Cm
Water you drink passed on by birth

       Bb                Gm
I'm no longer willing to give you control
