Future Islands
D
Intro
G D A x2
Verse 1
G D A Been a long time, in a low place G D A Surrounded by what I have made G Need to get away D A Get away from what relates G And what was done D A Cuz it's all over now G D A Through the woods, I come running to loose leaf G And carve my name D A In the lines, there's not a trace G D A I hear the ghost whisper, and those old eyes watching me G But I feel safe... D A Grandfather looking over me G D
Chorus
A He said: G "Don't make them wait D A G D A Gotta go a long way G D Let's be brave A Don't make them wait Nah, don't make them wait" G D A x4
Verse 2
G D A I sat down, with a coffee on my bent knee G D A Looking out, at the burnt land, looking back at me G D These used to be green crops A And high on a summer breeze G D A Now it's fallow fields and clear-cut barren weeds G D They said that if I stared A The abyss would stare back at me So I did... G D A And I felt it slowly creep in me G D A Save for the smoke, that danced when I took a drag G D A It made me think about the way it all came to be... Grandmama watching over me G D
Chorus
A And she said G D "Don't make them wait A G D A Gotta go a long way G D A Let's be brave, show them the way Nah, don't make them wait" G D A
Bridge
G D A Don't make them wait, nah G D A Don't make them wait
Outro
G D I hear the ghost whisper A And those old eyes watching me G D A But I feel safe G I feel safe
