The Smiths – Stretch Out And Wait (Guitar)

E    B         A            B
        On the high-rise estate

G#m                        A     B
What's at the back of your mind ?

          E           B
Oh, on a three-day debate

     A            B
On a high-rise estate

G#m                        A     B
What's at the back of your mind ?

     E       B        A           B
Two icy-cold hands conducting the way

         G#m                A     B
It's the Eskimo blood in my veins

     E             B
Amid concrete and clay

     A        B
And general decay

 G#m               A         B
Nature must still find a way

      E   B       A            B
So ignore all the codes of the day

         G#m                 A    B
Let your juvenile influences sway

 E           B
This way and that way and

 A            B
This way and that way

G#m             A
God, how sex implores you

   F#
To let yourself lose yourself

C#m             E
Stretch out and wait

C#m             E     C#m
Stretch out and wait

E                    A       B
Let your puny body lie down, lie down

A                  B
As we lie, you say

      C#m         E
As we lie, you say

E
Stretch out and ...

C#m             E
Stretch out and wait

C#m             E    C#m
Stretch out and wait

E                  A         B
Let your puny body lie down, lie down

A                  B
As we lie, you say

         C#m                    F#
Will the world end in the night time ?

          A          B
(I really don't know)

            C#m                  F#
Or will the world end in the day time ?

          A           B
(I really don't know)

            C#m                    F#
And is there any point ever having children ?

       A        B
Oh, I don't know

       F#               A             B
What I do know is we're here and it's Now

       E               B
So ... stretch out and wait

  A             B
Stretch out and wait

         G#m                   A         B
There is no debate, no debate, no debate

E            B           A         B
How can you consciously contemplate

             G#m                  A
When there's no debate, no debate ?

B                E  B A
