[E] [B] [E] On the high-rise estate, what's at the back [A] of your [B] mind?
[E] On a three [B]-day debate [E] on a high-rise [E] estate, what's [G#m] at the back [A] of your [G#m] mind?
[E] Two [B] icy cold [E] hands conducting the way, [E] it's the Eskimo blood [A] in my [G#m] veins.
[E] Amid [B] concrete and [E] clay and general decay, [E] nature [G#m] must still [A] find a [G#m] way.
[E] So [B] ignore [E] all the cold of the day, let your juvenile impulses [B] sway.
[E] This way and that way, this [C#m] way and that [G#m] way, God has sent [A] him towards [G#m] you.
[C] So let yourself, lose [E]
yourself, stretch out and wait, stretch [B] out and [E] wait.
Let your [A] puny body lie [E] down, lie [A] down, and will [E] I hear it say, [F#] as will I say?
[E] Stretch out and, stretch out and wait, [B] stretch [E] out and wait.
[A] Let your puny [E] body lie down, [A] lie down, and will I [C#m] hear it say?
Will the world end in the [F#] night time?
I [A] really don't [C#m] know.
Or will the world end in the day [F#] time?
I [A] really [C#m] don't know.
And is there any point of [F#] having [B] children?
Oh, [A] I [E] don't know.
What [F#] I do [A] is work here and [E] it's now.
So stretch out [A] and wait, [E] stretch out [G#] and wait.
[E] There is no debate, [A] no debate, [G#m] no debate.
[E] [B] How can [E] you consciously [G#] contemplate [E] when there's no debate, no debate?
[G#m] [E] Stretch out and wait.
[A] [E] [G#m] Stretch out [E] [A] [B] [E] and wait.
Stretch out [B] and [E] wait.
Wait.
[A] Wait.
[C#m] [E] Wait.
[B] [A] [C#m] [F#] [Am]
