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
