Wait until the day says it's closing

G             F       C       G
and public is put away.

Write by the light of a pay phone

G             F       C       G
your list of I meant to say

Am          G         F
Like winter comes too soon

    Am  G      F          G      G
or "Radiators hum out of tune

    F            C
Out under the Disraeli

     G                 F
with rusty train track ties

      F                     C
we'll carve new streets and sidewalks

  G              F
a city for small lives

    F              G                 C
and say that we'll stay for one more year

G              F              C    G
what all empty playgrounds know

Am        G      F
that sympathy is cruel

Am        G          F        G      G
Reluctant jester or simpering fool

    F                C
But six feet off the highway

    G                    F
our bare legs stung with wheat

      F              C
we'll dig a hole and bury

    G                F
all we could not defeat

    F              G                 C
and say that we'll stay for one more year

 F               C
Bend to tie a shoelace

    G                  F
or bend against your fear

    F                G                C
and say that you'll stay for one more year
