<< Back to The Smiths Song List

Version 1

            [Verse]
E    B         A            B
        On the high-rise estate
G#m                        A     B
What's at the back of your mind ?
          E           B
Oh, on a three-day debate
     A            B
On a high-rise estate
G#m                        A     B
What's at the back of your mind ?
     E       B        A           B
Two icy-cold hands conducting the way
         G#m                A     B
It's the Eskimo blood in my veins
     E             B
Amid concrete and clay
     A        B
And general decay
 G#m               A         B
Nature must still find a way
      E   B       A            B
So ignore all the codes of the day
         G#m                 A    B
Let your juvenile influences sway
 E           B
This way and that way and
 A            B
This way and that way
G#m             A
God, how sex implores you
   F#
To let yourself lose yourself

[Chorus 1]
C#m             E
Stretch out and wait
C#m             E     C#m
Stretch out and wait
E                    A       B
Let your puny body lie down, lie down
A                  B
As we lie, you say
      C#m         E
As we lie, you say
E
Stretch out and ...
C#m             E
Stretch out and wait
C#m             E    C#m
Stretch out and wait
E                  A         B
Let your puny body lie down, lie down

[Verse 2]
A                  B
As we lie, you say
         C#m                    F#
Will the world end in the night time ?
          A          B
(I really don't know)
            C#m                  F#
Or will the world end in the day time ?
          A           B
(I really don't know)
            C#m                    F#
And is there any point ever having children ?
       A        B
Oh, I don't know
       F#               A             B
What I do know is we're here and it's Now

[Chorus 2]
       E               B
So ... stretch out and wait
  A             B
Stretch out and wait
         G#m                   A         B
There is no debate, no debate, no debate
E            B           A         B
How can you consciously contemplate
             G#m                  A
When there's no debate, no debate ?
B                E  B A
Stretch out and wait
   B            G#m   A
Stretch out and wait
B               E   B
Stretch out and wait
A    B
Wait
E    B
Wait
A    B
Wait
E    B
Wait

[Outro]
C#m   F#    Am
