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
                        Am                  C
What are we saving for
                          G                      D
What are we saving for


   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
                              Am                  C
But what are we waiting for?
                              G                      D
But what are we waiting for?

[chorus:]
Am                 C                     G                D
So give me something to believe
Am                 C                     G                D
Cause I am living just to breathe
Am                 C                     
And I need something more
G                   D
To keep on breathing for
Am                 C                     G                D
So give me something to believe


      Am                            C                       Em (or G)            D
Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground
     Am                     C
It swells into the air
                   G (or Em)
With the rising
             D
Rising sound
         Am                           C                                     Em (or G)           D
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
                      Am                 C
What are we waiting for
                       G                    D
What are we waiting for

[chorus] 

(Bassline: A Ab G F#--Can play or not)
            Am                         Ab (E pos. barre chord)
I am hiding from some beast
                G                             D
But the beast was always here
Am                            Ab (E pos. barre chord)
Watching without eyes
                        G                           D
Because the beast is just my fear
         Am               C
That I am just nothing
                Em (G)                  D
Now its just what I've become
                     Am               C
What am I waiting for
                      G
Its already done
D
Oh
