Stretch Out And Wait Chords

(ver. 1)
The Smith Street Band

C     G         Fmaj9        G6
         On the high-rise estate
Em            C             F9     G6
What's at the back of your mind?
        C             G         Fmaj9       G6
Oh, the three day debates on a high-rise estate
Em            C            F9       G6
What's at the back of your mind?

    C         G      F9           G6
Two icy-cold hands conducting the way
         Em     C           F9      G6
It's the Eskimo blood in my veins
     C            G
Amid concrete and clay
    F9        G6
And general decay
Em           C         F9    G6
Nature must still find a way
    C      G      F9           G6
So ignore all the codes of the day
         Em        C          F9
Let your juvenile influences sway
C             G
This way and that way
F9          G6
This way, that way
Em       C     F9         G6
God, how sex implores you
    A7
To let yourself lose yourself

Am               C
Stretch out and wait
Am               G
Stretch out and wait
Am  C                   F9         G6
   Let your puny body, lie down, lie down
F9             G*
As we lie, you say
      Em*     F#m7
As we lie, you say
C9      D7sus2
     Stretch out and...
Am              C
Stretch out and wait
Am              G
Stretch out and wait
Am   C                 F9       G6
   Let your puny body lie down, lie down
F9             G*
As we lie, you say:
          Am*                   D7sus2
Will the world end in the night time?
          F9       G*
(I really don't know)
            Am*                  D7sus2
Or will the world end in the day time?
          F9        G*
(I really don't know)
              Am*                  D7sus2
And is there any point ever having children?
    F9         G*
Oh, I don't know
        D7sus2          F            F*
All I do know is we're here and it's now

      C                G
So... Stretch out and wait
F               G
Stretch out and wait
         Em         C            F9      G6
There is no debate, no debate, no debate
C           G            F9          G6
How can you consciously contemplate
             Em         C        F9   G6
When there's no debate, no debate?
                C      G
Stretch out and wait
              C     G
Stretch out and wait
F9  G6             C     G
   Stretch out and wait
F9 G6  C G  F9  G6
Wait, wait, wait
Am*      D9     Fm
Oh...
