Lyrics

[Intro]
| Cm | Ab7M/C | Bbsus4 | Bb |
| Cm | Ab7M/C | Bbsus4 | Bb |

[Verse 1]
Cm         Ebadd11/C          Bbsus4
Shouldering         the blame.
Bb Cm        Ebadd11/C Bbsus4
   Walking into frame.
Bb Cm         Ebadd11/C      Bbsus4
   Like a lighted silhouette,
       Bb               Ab5
Against  a cotton sheet,
Smothering the crease.

[Chorus]
Bb     Cm        Eb
Tin can  in hand,
    Bb/D    Eb         Absus2
Waiting for God to come      around.
       Bb    Cm           Eb
But he never comes around,
   Bb/D  Eb           Absus2
He never comes around.

[Verse 2]
Cm        Ebadd11/C        Bbsus4
Quiet like         a mouse,
Bb Cm         Ebadd11/C           Bbsus4
   Building up         your house,
Bb Cm          Ebadd11/C        Bbsus4
   Just to tear         it down,
    Bb            Ab5
Leaving us the pieces.
Do they ever fit?

[Chorus]
Bb     Cm        Eb
Tin can  in hand,
    Bb/D    Eb         Absus2
Waiting for God to come      around.
       Bb    Cm           Eb
But he never comes around,
   Bb/D  Eb           Absus2
He never comes around.

[Outro]
Bb     Cm        Eb
Tin can  in hand,
    Bb/D    Eb         Absus2
Waiting for God to come      around.
       Bb    Cm           Eb
But he never comes around,
   Bb/D  Eb           Absus2
He never comes around.
