G                                F                C              G
I'm singing to the bird with the broken wing that lives in your heart
                                     F           C          G
And to every dark bruise that won't heal or even fade at all

[Chorus]
C                                  G                  Bm
They say you apologized when you came out of the womb
                          C                 G
So aware of the pain, so close to the wound
             F  C                    G
Still I wonder,  should I wait for you

[Verse 2]
G                                             F     C                 G
I'm singing to your ancient voice that lies buried alone in your chest
G                                             F              C                G
Cause the deeper we walk into this valley, I know the less sunshine we will get

[Chorus]
 C                G
My whiskey girl, 40 years you've been true
Bm            C                       G
My sweet 39 I suppose will have to do
             F  C         G               F C G
Still I wonder, should I wait for you

[Interlude]
C             G           C            G
I asked for this in some mescaline haze
C           G                    F               C                   G  F C G x2 G
I wanted to go with you, but I didn't know how short you would stay

[Verse 3]
G                                F         C             G
No one's coming tonight, it's cold it's dark and it's late
                                F       C    G
I won't keep you long standing angelically by them gates

[Chorus]
C                              G
I ain't no Romeo, but it's as close as I'll ever be
Bm                    C                        G
I tear out my brains just to set my soul free
              F C  G                     F C
Still I wonder,    did you wait for me
 G                    F C G  F C G
Did you wait for me
