                      Am
And if I'm wasting my time
                       E
Then nothing could be better
                     B
Than hangin' on the line
                   D             E   D E
And waiting for a honest word forever

And if you're saying goodbye
Please don't you think me better
For recalling every rhyme from the book the page
The line the word the letter

Well the windows turning blue
And the waters ever flowing
And I hope I'm not a fool
For laughing at myself as you were going
