Am F C G x2





[Verse]



Am               F                     C                        G                         Am

Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket  I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke 'til we're

               F                     C                          G

staring at the stars and the rockets twinkling in the silvery night

Am                   F                       C                        G

        Two sips of whiskey in the flask but I'm not gonna drink it I swear I'll make it last 'til

Am                    F                   C                G

we're drinking out of the same glass again





[Chorus]



F                      C                        G       G                        F

        And though the sand may be washed by the sea and the old will be lost in the new

C                      G           G                      F

four will not wait for three, for three never waited for two

        C                       G    G (let ring)          Am

and though you may not wait for me,               I'll wait for you

Am                F                    C                        G

Got a polaroid picture in my wallet, I'm not gonna tear it no I'm not gonna spoil it

        Am                     F                       C                    G

it's an unspoken heartbreak, a heartbroken handshake I take with me where I go

Am                          F                          C                   G

        Three words on the tip of my tounge not to be spoken or sung or to whispered to

               Am                F                   C       G

anyone 'til I'm screaming at the top of my lungues again





[Chorus]



F                      C                        G       G                        F

        And though the sand may be washed by the sea and the old will be lost in the new

C                      G           G                      F

four will not wait for three, for three never waited for two

        C                       G    G (let ring)          Am

and though you may not wait for me,               I'll wait for you



F    C   G            Am                      x5 (or fingerpick 2x strike chords 3x)

          I'll wait for you aaah
