     G
I am waitin’ ’til I don’t know when
          A7sus4                   G
cause I’m sure it’s gonna happen then
            G
Time keeps creepin’ through the neighborhood
            A7sus4
Killing old folks,
                                       G
wakin’ up babies just like we knew it would

All the neighbors are starting up a fire
Burning all the old folks, the witches and the liars
My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids
But my heart keeps watching through
the skin of my eyelids

Chorus:
           Cmaj7                   G
They say a watched pot won’t ever boil
              Cmaj7                 G     D/F#
Well I closed my eyes and nothin’ changed
           E             A              G
Just some water getting hotter in the flames

It's not a lover I want no more
And it's not heaven I'm pining for
But there's some spirit I used to know
That's been drowned out by the radio!

Chorus:
They say a watched pot won't ever boil
You can't raise a baby on motor oil
Just like a seed down in the soil,
you've got to give it time
