        C        Em
I was drifting, crying
Dm             G
I was looking for an island
        C      Em
I was slipping under
      Dm                              G
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

Chorus:
Am            Dm    Am             G
I'm out of my mind; think you can wait?
Am              Dm    Am            G
I'm way off the line; think you can wait?

We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exits one by one

Chorus:
I'm out of my mind
Think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait... it out?

    C Em
Did I?
Dm             G
Think you can wait?
    C Em
Did I?
Dm             G
Think you can wait?

What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
And I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exits one by one

I'll try
I'll try
But I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
I'll try
But I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
I'll try
But I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
