Wait For It - Dave Melillo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I dunno if this is the same key as the song, but I chose to tab it in E because it fit
vocal range well, and I couldn't find any other way to do it that sounded good. I think
actually in Open D (DADDDD), but I couldn't figure it out in that tuning, so this is in
And even if this isn't right, it sounds good anyway.

This may also be on his upcoming EP Talk Is Cheap, which hits stores June 13th. It's
Tuning: Standard
Give me your black lungs, and your blue eyes
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet, and your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you'd just give up on holding back
And I've never lost so many words for kissing just one girl

You've got potential.
Wait for it, wait for nights that compliment you
Ignore the girls that just resent you
It's easier to pretend you don't care at all
Now wait for it, wait for boys that overwhelm you
Tell them that you're not that type of girl
And you would rather sit and talk about your goals
Give me your black lungs, and your blue eyes
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet, and your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you'd just give up on holding back
And I've never lost so many words for kissing just one girl

Repeat Chorus here (Wait for it, wait for nights that...), but with different words. The
pattern is the same. And then the bridge:
Well I tried.......
Well I tried.......
Well I tried to make you see that you lost reality somewhere
I tried........
(No words here)
Give me your black lungs, and your blue eyes
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet, and your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you'd just give up on holding back
And I've never lost so many words for kissing just one girl
You've got potential.
end on E, let ring.
Pretty easy for the rhythm parts; there are a few arpeggios scattered throughout the
but those are just variations of the A chord that's used in the song, so you should be able
figure them out.
