[Intro 1]
[G][C]
[G][Em]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]The
[Em][C]
[G]cool is dead, baby
Go on and sleep
[C]Rest your weary head and
love a better me
[G]And in the morning
We'll start over again
That's [Em]how they do it up on [C]the screen
So [G]me and my baby
We would dance all night
But [C]I don't know the steps
In my baby's time
[G]To do it like they do it
For the girls uptown
I [Em]hear they light them up like the [C]blues
So I'm [Em]waiting, so I'm [D]waiting
And she's [Em]waiting, and [C]she's waiting
For us to remem[D]ber

[Verse 2]
Was I [Em]good to [C]you, the [G]wife of my [D]youth
No [Em]other soul could [C]love you
Like my [G]rotten [D]bones do
So [Em]I will wa[C]it on the
[G]edges in [D]between
These [Em]New York s[D]treets
Where you and I would [G]meet
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]For[Em][C]
[G]twenty nine years
We loved that line
And [C]I would take it easy
If I had your mind
But [G]I'm a cannonball to a house on fire
And [Em]you're slow [Bm]like [C]Motow[Em]nsou[D]l
So [G]what man wouldn't love her
With that long black hair
If I [C]cut you up
Maybe I came to bear
To [G]bandage your wounds
With the salt on my tongue
And [Em]I'm the only one not h[C]ere
So I'm [Em]waiting, so I'm [D]waiting
And she's [Em]waiting, and she's [C]waiting
For us to re[D]member

[Verse 4]
So was I [Em]good to [C]you, the [G]wife of my [D]youth
No [Em]other soul could [C]love you
Like my [G]rotten bones [D]do
So [Em]I will wa[C]it on the
[G]edges in [D]between
These [Em]New York s[D]treets
Where you and I would [G]meet

[Verse 5]
And only [G]I can h[D]eal your w[Em]ounds
Only [G]I c[C]an [G]heal yo[D]ur wo[Em]unds
When you [C]can't [G]go on
When you [D]can't go [Em]on
When you [C]can't go [G]on
When you [D]know, [Em]hold [D]on[Em][C][Em][D]

[Verse 6]
So was I [Em]good to you,
[C]the wife of [D]my youth
[Em]No other soul could lo[C]ve you
Like my
[G]So [D]was I goo[Em]d to you[C],
[G]the wife of my [D]youth
No [Em]other soul could [C]love you
Like my [G]rotten bones [D]do
So [Em]I will wa[C]it on the ed[G]ges in bet[D]ween
And [Em]I will wai[C]t on the edg[G]es in be[D]tween
An[Em]d I will w[C]ait on the
[G]edges [C]in [D]between
These [Em]New York s[D]treets
On all these [Em]New York [D]streets
Where you and I would [G]meet
