D#
A little boy me went fishing in a wooden boat
Sitting there for hours in the cold
Patience is a virtue til we die
Then a ripple in the water caught my eye

Chorus:
    G#                                      A#
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
D#                                  G#
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
   G#                                 A#
We go from green to blue to gold to black
 C#          G#                             D#
Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last

Only was last week I learned to drive
Stole my Mother's keys and drove all night
Christine never showed it's 4am
Started up Mum's car drove home again

Chorus

One year ago I kissed my bride
Now I wait to hear my baby's cry
Woman showed me all that she knew then
To cut himself down man's born again

Chorus

Christine died and now I'm here alone
What I wouldn't give to be on that wooden boat
