G C G C Pity, take pity on me Am G Because I'm not half the man that I should be G C G C I'm always turning to run Am G From the people I should not be afraid of And darling, you should know That I have fantasies about being alone It's like love is a lesson that I can't learn So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn Chorus: Em C G I know you can't hold out forever Em C G D Waiting on a diamond and a tether Em C From a boy who won't swim B7 Em Who won't dip his toe in A7 C G Just to keep you here with him I've got this habit I abhor When we go out, I'm always watching the door As if there's someone I'm gonna see Who could outdo the things that you do to me Chorus: And I know you can't hold out forever Waiting on a diamond and a tether From a boy who won't fly, but who will take to the skies If he thinks that you're about to say goodbye Pity, take pity on me 'Cause I'm not half the man that I should be And I don't blame you, you've had enough Of all these empty promises and countless bluffs Chorus: 'Cause I know you can't hold out forever Waiting on a diamond and a tether From a boy who won't jump when he falls in love And he just stands with his toes on the edge And he waits for it to disappear again | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  A7  C  D  Em  G  B7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
