Chord They Wait by Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit

Chorus 1 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 Verse 1 Dsus4 D 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 Chorus 1 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 Verse 2 Dsus4 D 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 Chorus 2 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 Bridge 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 OutroChorus G C G C G D C G C G C G D C Em C G C G D C Em C G C G D C Dsus4 D C Dsus4 D Cadd9 Dsus4 D C
