Intro:

F#m D A

I've heard about a great big swindle

E B

I read about it in a book

F#m D A

The book flew out the window

E B

Was later found by thieves and crooks

C#m

And now

they're singing hallelujah

Em D

I'm wondering just what did they find

F#m D A

They say "what's it to ya?"

E B

Just take a place in line

F#m

And wait

C#m

So I wait

I wait

And wait

Asus2 C#m A E

And I...

F#m D A

I'm one of a few survivors

E B

I'm a drawer labelled "lost and found"

F#m D A

Moon travellers and deep sea divers

E B

Whose oxygen supply ran out

C#m Am

Now maybe if their gods be willing

Em D

They'll give us something, fill our empty cups

F#m D A

Sit down in the boat, don't spill it

E B F#m

Or we'll just have to line back up

C#m

And wait

So we wait

We wait

F#m

Yes we wait

C#m

And we wait

We will wait

'Til we...

C#m A E

Solo ( x4)

C#m A E

You can hear it in the beat they march to

C#m A E C#m

And you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance

A E

You can tell by the way they move you

C#m A E

It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby

F#m D A

And as the world moves faster

E B

Whiplashing us round and round

F#m D A

It's quite a slow disaster

E B

But people keep on falling down

F#m D A

As they wait

E B

We wait

F#m D A

And we wait

E B

We wait

F#m D A

And we wait

E B

We wait

F#m D A

Hallelujah!
