G/B G
1. I am waitin’ ’til I don’t know when
A7sus4 G
cause I’m sure it’s gonna happen then
G/B G
Time keeps creepin’ through the neighborhood
A7sus4 G
Killing old folks, wakin’ up babies just like we knew it would
2. All the neighbors are startin’ up a fire
Burning all the old folks the witches and the liars
My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids
but my heart keeps watchin’ through the skin of my eyelids

R: They say a watched pot won’t ever boil
Cmaj7 G G/F#
Well I closed my eyes and nothin’ changed
Em A G
Just some water getting hotter in the flames
3. It’s not a lover I want no more
and it’s not heaven I’m pining for
But there’s some spirit I used to know
That’s been drowned out by the radio
R: They say a watched pot won’t ever boil
You can’t raise a baby on motor oil
Just like a seed down in the soil you gotta give it time
