Capo 4

G5
I'm savin' all my nickels
    F5             C5
And half of every dime
    G5
I'm washin' all the blankets
    F5              C5
God knows that I'm tryin'
             G5
I fixed the gate


   F5         C5                  G5
We will find each other so they say
       F5
In the meantime
    G5                C5
I'm lonesome while I wait


    G5           
I'm lyin' to my family
   F5        C5
Of who I'm thinkin' about
   G5
I had another woman
  F5          C5
Somehow she found out
    G5
She always knew

         F5           C5                  G5
We'll be honest with each other, me and you
       F5
In the meantime
     G5                C5
I'll break a heart or two


        G5
Now I'm sellin' saws and hammers
    F5            C5
For half of what they're worth
    G5
I'm dreamin' for a living
  F5               C5
I got no time for work
     G5
It's gettin' hard


F5          C5             G5
One day we will never be apart
       F5
In the meantime
    G5                   C5
I'm wonderin' where you are


        G5
Now I'm burnin' sheets of plywood
  F5                C5
I pried up off the floor
    G5
The house is out of lumber
   F5                 C5
At least for now I'm warm
    G5
For now I'm warm


        F5      C5           G5
We'll be warm beneath the Carolina moon
       F5
In the meantime
         G5            C5
I should find another room

     G5
I'm drinkin' from the faucet
    F5            C5
I'm lucky when I sleep
    G5
I'm sleepin' in the closet
    F5             C5
I'm scared of the police
       G5
What should I do?


    F5            C5            G5
One day you will be my reason too
       F5
In the meantime
      G5              C5
I'll just be passing through
