In The Meantime

	  		
 

G 
I'm savin' all my nickels 
    F             C 
And half of every dime 
    G 
I'm washin' all the blankets 
    F              C 
God knows that I'm tryin' 
             G 
I fixed the gate 


   F         C                  G 
We will find each other so they say 
       F 
In the meantime 
    G                C 
I'm lonesome while I wait 


    G            
I'm lyin' to my family 
   F        C 
Of who I'm thinkin' about 
   G 
I had another woman 
  F          C 
Somehow she found out 
    G 
She always knew 

         F           C                  G 
We'll be honest with each other, me and you 
       F 
In the meantime 
     G                C 
I'll break a heart or two 


        G 
Now I'm sellin' saws and hammers 
    F            C 
For half of what they're worth 
    G 
I'm dreamin' for a living 
  F               C 
I got no time for work 
     G 
It's gettin' hard 


F          C             G 
One day we will never be apart 
       F 
In the meantime 
    G                   C 
I'm wonderin' where you are 


        G 
Now I'm burnin' sheets of plywood 
  F                C 
I pried up off the floor 
    G 
The house is out of lumber 
   F                 C 
At least for now I'm warm 
    G 
For now I'm warm 


        F      C           G 
We'll be warm beneath the Carolina moon 
       F 
In the meantime 
         G            C 
I should find another room 


Interlude: G F G F C G F G F G C 

     G 
I'm drinkin' from the faucet 
    F            C 
I'm lucky when I sleep 
    G 
I'm sleepin' in the closet 
    F             C 
I'm scared of the police 
       G 
What should I do? 


    F            C            G 
One day you will be my reason too 
       F 
In the meantime 
      G              C 
I'll just be passing through
