lyrics

Intro and verse: A F#m Bm or D variation - A string rings out for all chords
Pre-chorus: C#m Bm C#m D
Chorus: A D A D A

Lock your doors, shutter your blinds
And close your pretty eyes
The future ain't bright, it's black as night
And we can't find the switch
Stumblin' around and stubbin' our toes
On borrowed time and a powdered nose
Countin' down for the curtain call
The car won't start, engine's stalled

But I don't know what I can do
No I don't know what I can do for you

'Cause you can only wait
You can only wait for so long
You can only wait
You can only wait for so long

A little off the cuff, jean jacket sleeves rolled up
Cigarette hangin' just so
Money's all spoken for, it's gotta go
It's got nothing left to say
Generation oh, lonesome me
Staring down at a world that's starin' back at me
Cross your fingers, dot your I's
Maybe we've got one more surprise

But I don't know what I can do
No, I don't know what I can do for you

'Cause you can only wait
You can only wait for so long
You can only wait
You can only wait for so long

'Cause you can only wait
You can only wait for so long
You can only wait
You can only wait for so long
