Verse 1
          F
If you're willing to wait
        A
for the love of your life,
Dm                 F       (F)
please wait by the line...
    (F)
And you know
           A                Dm
Dismissive prisms rainbow
 
But my native optimism
 
isn't broken
       F      (F)
by the light
 
Verse 2 
    (F)                  
The idea of life without company
        (F)
Crashed suddenly
                       A
It crashed through the ceiling on me
    Dm               F     (F)
And pinned me to the pine
   (F)         A
And layer upon layer
   Dm
Of hope and doubt
                           F
Will crush bones to oil in time
 
Chorus 
D   A     D      Em D   A     G        
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
  Em      (Em)   D       A      G
I pull the weight towards me
    D A        D    Em   D      A       G
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
  Em     Em     G     D       G
Unless I have a woman pushing me
 
Verse 3 
    F                  A
A canopy of red-billed quelea
Dm              F
Passed over the blue
  (F)
A five hour flock,
    A
Not one dives down,
   Dm           F       (F)
To tell you the truth
 
(F)
As night falls
    A
A quelea crawls
    Dm                   F     (F)
And whispers on his last wing
    (F)
"So abundant are we,
     A
Left alone I shall be,
      Dm                 F
But a waited phone never rings..."
 
Chorus 
 
D   A     D      Em D   A     G        
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
  Em      (Em)   G       D      G
I pull the weight towards me
    D A        D    Em   D      A       G
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
  Em     Em     G     D       G
Unless I have a woman pushing me
 
D   A     D      Em D   A     G    
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
D        A    D         Em D       A      G      
We could hold hands for 15 minutes in the sauna
D        A    D     Em    D           A    G      
We could hold hands for a pool length underwater
Em    Em       G    D    G
I can push and pull
Her
