C#m
Well I know that you know
that you've become the
                G#m
target of this hand
with never even asking
     C#m
Well I know that you know
that you're the only
                  G#m
thing that I can stand

    E
so how could your hair
                         G#m
have the nerve to dance around like that, blowing
     E
and how could the air
                            G#m
have the nerve to blow your hair around like that

Chorus:
     E
I'm waiting for a 90-mile water wall
                  C#m      G#m
to take me out of your view
     E
I'm looking for a trap door trigger
                  C#m      G#m
to drop me out of your view

Yes, I'm listening, I'm listening
I can tell that you are serious
You're looking for that hurt look around my mouth
The look of a steep fall, yeah,
that's how Hersey put it

So you can make another claim
Well, go ahead and make it
So you can make another claim
Well, go ahead and make it

Chorus:
I'm just waiting for a 90-mile water wall
To take me out of your view
I'm praying for a trapdoor trigger - x2

Yes, I'm listening
I can tell you're serious
