I Can Wait

Steve Earle  I Can Wait  written by Steve Earle  
 
A                  F#m 
In the blink of an eye  
                       C#m 
Stars'll fall from the sky  
E           A 
No one even notices  
A                  F#m 
If you think it'll help  
                 C#m 
I can walk out myself  
E                    A 
And we won't have to go through this  
     D                   E 
If I pretend to hold you tight  
               A       A/G#      F#m 
And out on the highway late some night  
           C#m   E 
That's all right  
A                     F#m 
If that's all that it takes  
                 C#m    E 
Even if my heart breaks  
        A 
Darlin' I can wait  
A                 F#m 
I have nothin' but time  
                       C#m 
And this poor heart of mine  
E               A 
Probably could use some rest  
A                         F#m 
When the ghosts are all gone  
                         C#m 
You can leave your light on  
E                    A 
Shinin' through the loneliness  
            D             E 
Just like a beacon in the night  
              A   A/G#    F#m 
Brighter than any star in sight  
               C#m   E 
But that's all right  
A                 F#m 
For as long as it takes  
                   C#m 
For that mornin' to break  
E       A 
Darlin' I can wait  
 
SOLO 
 
              D                  E                     
Out where the mountains meet the sky  
           A        A/G#    F#m 
Feelin' so lonesome I could cry  
               C#m   E 
But that's all right  
A                    F#m 
Cause all the signs say  
                C#m 
You'll call me someday  
E       F#m          A   F#m  C#m  E  A 
Darlin' I can wait
