F#               Bmaj7
Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
D#m7                       C#
I'm not gonna roll it, no, I'm not gonna
smoke it 'til we're
F#              Bmaj7
staring at the stars and the rockets
D#m7                      C#
Twinkling in the silvery night
F#            Bmaj7
Two sips of whiskey in the flask, But
D#m7                        C#
I'm not gonna drink 'em, I swear I'll
make it last 'til we're
F#                 Bmaj7           D#m7  C#
drinking out of the same glass again

Chorus:
Bmaj7          D#m7                      C#
And though the sand may be washed by the sea
                                Bmaj7
And the old will be lost in the new
      D#m7                    C#
Well four will not wait for three
                           Bmaj7
For three never waited for two
     D#m7                    C#
And though you will not wait for me
          D#m7    Bmaj7 F# C#
I'll wait for you

Got a Polaroid picture in my wallet
I'm not gonna tear it, no, I'm not gonna spoil it
It's an unspoken heartbreak
A heartbroken handshake
I take with me where I go
Three words on the tip of my tongue
Not to be spoke nor sung
Or whispered to anyone
Till I scream 'em at the top of my lungs again

Chorus:
And though the sand may be washed by the sea
And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I'll wait for you

     F#        C#
And, oh, oh, oh,
          D#m7         Bmaj7
I'll wait for you, Oh, whoa
     F#       C#
And, oh, oh, oh.
             D#m7          Bmaj7
And I'll wait for you, Oh, oh

Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
I'm not gonna roll it, no, I'm not gonna smoke it
Till we're staring at the stars and the rockets
Twinkling in the silvery night
