lyrics

Wait It Out

A
I'm gonna wait it out
wait it out

Bm
up in the attic
A
I'm gonna wait it out
wait it out
Bm
I'm not gonna think about it.

F#m-A-Bm-E
While it all goes down outside
I'm gonna not take chance I'm gonna hide hide hide
And if you know what's good for yourself.
you'll stay away from my special little hideout

A-Bm
I'm gonna wait it out
wait it out
down in basement
I'm gonna wait it out
wait it out
till all my money's spent.

F#-A-B-E (half time)
When there's a bang I'll blockade my door
and when it gets all quiet I'm gonna wait some more
if you're looking for me
you better start looking for a replacement
you know where I'll be
I'm gonna be waiting down in the basement.

(chorus)
A-A-D-E
I'm gonna wait till it all blows over
and then I'm gonna wait a little bit longer
I'm gonna wait till it all blows over
and then I'm gonna wait a little bit longer
A-E-D-B
I'm gonna wait till everyone's dead
And then I'm still gonna stay inside instead
Cause I know just where it's safe
and the only thing I know is how to wait.
(stay on B)
(A-A-D-E) x 2 (solo)
(solo)
F#-A-B-E x 2 (or 4)
A-Bm
I'm gonna wait it out
wait it out
up in my tree
I''m gonna wait it out
wait it out
till i think it's all clean.
F#m-A-Bm-E
cause when those chemicals hit
your gonna wish you could climb
Up on a branch is where I'll sit
I'l have nothing do, but I'l have nothing but time
if you're looking for me
to watch your back
you know where I'll be
I'm gonna be waiting up in the attic
(chorus)
A-A-D-E
I'm gonna wait till it all blows over
and then I'm gonna wait a little bit longer
I'm gonna wait till it all blows over
and then I'm gonna wait a little bit longer


A-E-D-B x 2
