[Intro]

Am Em G D7

(official music video only has Am and Em)

[Verse 1]

I was perched outside in the pouring rain

Trying to make myself a sail

Then I'll float to you my darlin'

With the evening on my tail

Although not the most honest means of travel

It gets me there nonetheless

I'm a heartless man at worst, babe

And a helpless one at best

[Chorus]

Darling, I'll bathe your skin

I'll even wash your clothes

Just give me some candy

Before I go

Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes

And lay you down on your rug

Just give me some candy

After my hug

[Verse 2]

Oh, and I'm often false explaining

But to her it plays out all the same

And although I'm left defeated

It gets held against my name

I know you got plenty to offer, baby

But I guess I've taken quite enough

Well, I'm some stain there on your bedsheet

You're my diamond in the rough

[Chorus]

Darling, I'll bathe your skin

I'll even wash your clothes

Just give me some candy

Before I go

Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes

And lay you down on your rug

Just give me some candy

After my hug

[Instrumental]

Am Em G D7

Am Em

[Chorus]

G D7

I know that the writing's on the wall

But darling, I'll bathe your skin

I'll even wash your clothes

Just give me some candy

Before I go

Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes

And lay you down on your rug

Just give me some candy

After my hug

[Outro]

C G

Oh, and I'll be there waiting for you

C Em

You know that I'll be there waiting for you

C G

Oh, I'll be there waiting for you

C Em

Oh, I'll be there waiting for you

C G

Oh, I'll be there waiting for you

C Em

Oh, I'll be there waiting for you

All the cutthroats and their jagged ends

All of them have got me waiting and waiting

All the cheap and the sugary philosophies

Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting

All the angels and their halos

All of them just got me waiting and waiting

All the cutthroats and their jagged ends

All of them have got me waiting and waiting

All the cheap and the sugary philosophies

Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting

All the angels and their halos

All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
