       Am
I was perched outside in the pouring rain
 Em
Trying to make myself a sail
            G
Then I'll float to you my darlin'
         D7
With the evening on my tail
                  Am
Although not the most honest means of travel
   Em
It gets me there nonetheless
       G
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
       D7
And a helpless one at best

Chorus:
               Am
Darling, I'll bathe your skin
          Em
I'll even wash your clothes
              G                D7
Just give me some candy, before I go
                 Am
Oh darling, I'll kiss your eyes
                 Em
And lay you down on your rug
              G
Just give me some candy
      D7
After my hug

Oh, and I'm often false explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
And although I'm left defeated
It gets held against my name

I know you got plenty to offer, baby
But I guess I've taken quite enough
Well, I'm some stain there on your bed sheet
You're my diamond in the rough

Chorus

    G                                 D7
I know that there're writings on the wall
                   Am
But darling, I'll bathe your skin
           Em
I'll even wash your clothes
 G
Just give me some candy
       D7
Before I go

Oh darling,
I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy after my hug

C                      G
I'll be there waiting for you
C                          G
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
C                         Em
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
C                      G
I'll be there waiting for you
C                     Em
I'll be there waiting for you

C
All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
G
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
C
All the cheap and their sugary philosophies
Em
Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
C
All the angels and their halos
G
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
C
All the cutthroats and their jagged ends
Em
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
C
All the cheap and their sugary philosophies
G
Have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
C
All the angels and their halos
Em
All of them have got me waiting and waiting
