[A]
I [D]waited till [G]the morning,

[Verse 1]
[Bm]
[D]to com[G]e back int[A]o use
I [D]wrote it [G]out a hundred [Bm]times[D],
but it [G]never [D]seemed as true [A]as whe[D]n I stu[G]mbled home and[Bm] felt[A]
The [G]words upon my [E]lips
[A]You gra[D]bbed me by [G]my arm and[Bm]
[D]smelt the [G]li quor in my truth
[A]I said, "I'[C]m swimming in [G]a cage"[D]
[Bm][D][G][D][A][D][Bm][D][G][D][E]
The [D]morning rose in silence,
[Bm]and [D]I watc[G]hed it fill [D]the [A]room[D]
Earlier than dawn [Bm]you [A]crept into
[G]the [A]kitchen's light
[D]You always [G]were an [Bm]early [D]bird,
[G]and I was alw[D]ays tired
[A]So I lai[D]d in bed[G] all warm and wak[Bm]e[D]
and [G]thought about the com[A]ing days
I said, [C]"I'm swimming [G]in a cage,
[D]I'm swi[C]mming in [G]a cage"[D][Bm][D][G][D]
[A][D][Bm][D][G][D][A][D][Bm][D][G]
[A][D][Bm][D][G][D][A]
I [D]folded [Bm]on my page and [A]left it [G]by the [A]kitchen sink,
where I [D]knew that you [Bm]would find it [D]when you [G]came back from New York
[A]You'd be sit[D]ting dow[G]n the basket[Bm] ful[D]l of a[G]pples from[A] the tree and [E]with two[D] hands you wou[Bm]ld open up my [A]lett[G]er and begin[A] to read,
"I'm [C]swimming [G]in a cage, and I [C]don't want [G]you drowning, and as my [C]boots turned [G]up dust, [C]I just [G]hoped for understanding"[D]
