Capo 1st Fret
                     Am                                     C   Em(or G)            D  
The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
                        Am                                     C   G(or Em)                 D  
Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back
                              Am                      C   Em(or G)             D  
We do our time like pennies in a jar
What are we saving forAm  C  
What are we saving forG  D  
                             Am                           C   Em(or G)            D  
There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins.
                            Am                                     C   G(or Em)                 D  
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins
                                 Am                       C   Em(or G)            D  
We sit and grow our roots into the floor
But what are we waiting for?Am  C  
But what are we waiting for?G  D
