Capo 4

G
I'm savin' all my nickels
    F             C
And half of every dime
    G
I'm washin' all the blankets
    F              C
God knows that I'm tryin'
             G
I fixed the gate


   F         C                  G
We will find each other so they say
       F
In the meantime
    G                C
I'm lonesome while I wait


    G           
I'm lyin' to my family
   F        C
Of who I'm thinkin' about
   G
I had another woman
  F          C
Somehow she found out
    G
She always knew

         F           C                  G
We'll be honest with each other, me and you
       F
In the meantime
     G                C
I'll break a heart or two


        G
Now I'm sellin' saws and hammers
    F            C
For half of what they're worth
    G
I'm dreamin' for a living
  F               C
I got no time for work
     G
It's gettin' hard


F          C             G
One day we will never be apart
       F
In the meantime
    G                   C
I'm wonderin' where you are


        G
Now I'm burnin' sheets of plywood
  F                C
I pried up off the floor
    G
The house is out of lumber
   F                 C
At least for now I'm warm
    G
For now I'm warm


        F      C           G
We'll be warm beneath the Carolina moon
       F
In the meantime
         G            C
I should find another room

     G
I'm drinkin' from the faucet
    F            C
I'm lucky when I sleep
    G
I'm sleepin' in the closet
    F             C
I'm scared of the police
       G
What should I do?


    F            C            G
One day you will be my reason too
       F
In the meantime
      G              C
I'll just be passing through
