[Intro]
 
Am    Em    G    D7
(official music video only has Am and Em)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
      Am
I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Em
Trying to make myself a sail
          G
Then I'll float to you my darlin'
         D7
With the evening on my tail
                 Am
Although not the most honest means of travel
   Em
It gets me there nonetheless
      G
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
      D7
And a helpless one at best
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              Am
Darling, I'll bathe your skin
          Em
I'll even wash your clothes
             G
Just give me some candy
        D7
Before I go
                 Am
Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
                 Em
And lay you down on your rug
             G
Just give me some candy
        D7
After my hug
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
            Am
Oh, and I'm often false explaining
        Em
But to her it plays out all the same
         G
And although I'm left defeated
        D7
It gets held against my name
               Am
I know you got plenty to offer, baby
       Em
But I guess I've taken quite enough
                G
Well, I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
           D7
You're my diamond in the rough
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              Am
Darling, I'll bathe your skin
          Em
I'll even wash your clothes
             G
Just give me some candy
        D7
Before I go
                 Am
Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
                 Em
And lay you down on your rug
             G
Just give me some candy
        D7
After my hug
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Am    Em    G    D7
Am    Em
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  G                               D7
I know that the writing's on the wall
                  Am
But darling, I'll bathe your skin
          Em
I'll even wash your clothes
             G
Just give me some candy
        D7
Before I go
                 Am
Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
                 Em
And lay you down on your rug
             G
Just give me some candy
        D7
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
 
C
All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
G
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
C
All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
Em
Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
C
All the angels and their halos
G
All of them just got me waiting and waiting
C
All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
Em
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
C
All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
G
Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
C
All the angels and their halos
Em
All they do is keep me waiting and waiting
