Pusher

	  		
          F 
If you're willing to wait 
        A 
for the love of your life, 
Dm                 F       (F) 
please wait by the line... 
    (F) 
And you know 
           A                Dm 
Dismissive prisms rainbow 
  
But my native optimism 
  
isn't broken 
       F      (F) 
by the light 
  
  
    (F)                   
The idea of life without company 
        (F) 
Crashed suddenly 
                       A 
It crashed through the ceiling on me 
    Dm               F     (F) 
And pinned me to the pine 
   (F)         A 
And layer upon layer 
   Dm 
Of hope and doubt 
                           F 
Will crush bones to oil in time 
  
  
D   A     D      Em D   A     G         
Are you a pusher or are you a puller? 
  Em      (Em)    D       A      G 
I pull the weight towards me 
    D A        D    Em   D      A       G 
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward 
  Em     Em     G     D       G 
Unless I have a woman pushing me 
  
  
    F                  A 
A canopy of red-billed quelea 
Dm              F 
Passed over the blue 
  (F) 
A five hour flock, 
    A 
Not one dives down, 
   Dm           F       (F) 
To tell you the truth 
  
(F) 
As night falls 
    A 
A quelea crawls 
    Dm                   F     (F) 
And whispers on his last wing 
    (F) 
"So abundant are we, 
     A 
Left alone I shall be, 
      Dm                 F 
But a waited phone never rings..." 
  
  
D   A     D      Em D   A     G         
Are you a pusher or are you a puller? 
  Em      (Em)    G       D      G 
I pull the weight towards me 
    D A        D    Em   D      A       G 
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward 
  Em     Em     G     D       G 
Unless I have a woman pushing me 
  
  
D   A     D      Em D   A     G     
Are you a pusher or are you a puller? 
D        A    D         Em D       A      G       
We could hold hands for 15 minutes in the sauna 
D        A    D     Em    D           A    G       
We could hold hands for a pool length underwater 
Em    Em       G    D    G 
I can push and pull 
  
Her 
  
          F 
If you're willing to wait 
        A 
for the love of your life, 
Dm                 F       
please wait by the line...
