Stretch Out And Wait

The Smiths

Transposer:

Note: This is a fairly complicated version of the song but sounds great when you get your head around it. It’s easier than it looks. Standard tuning capo 4. Chords: G6:320000 Em:022000 Fadd9:XX3213 :4X554X :X02213 :32220X D7sus2:XX0210 Am7*:X02010 F:133211 *:3X3211 :X54530 :133111 On the high-rise estate What’s at the back of your mind? Oh the three day debates on a high-rise estate What’s at the back of your mind? Two icy-cold hands conducting the way It’s the Eskimo blood in my veins Amid concrete and clay And general decay Nature must still find a way So ignore all the codes of the day Em C Fadd9 Let your juvenile influences sway This way and that way This way that way God how sex implores you To let yourself lose yourself Stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait Let your puny body lie down lie down Fadd9 G6/9 As we lie you say Emadd4 Am/F# As we lie you say Cadd9 D7sus2 Stretch out and... Stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait Let your puny body lie down lie down Fadd9 G6/9 As we lie you say: Am7* D7sus2 Will the world end in the night time? Fadd9 G6/9 (I really don’t know) Am7* D7sus2 Or will the world end in the day time? Fadd9 G6/9 (I really don’t know) Am7* D7sus2 And is there any point ever having children? Fadd9 G6/9 Oh I don’t know D7sus2 F F* All I do know is we’re here and it’s now So... Stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait There is no debate no debate no debate How can you consciously contemplate When there’s no debate no debate? Stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait Stretch out and wait Wait wait wait Oh...

Cette chanson évoque des réflexions sur l'existence et la nature des relations humaines, mêlant une certaine mélancolie à des questions profondes sur la vie et la mort. Elle parle de moments d'introspection, où l'on se demande ce qui se cache au fond de notre esprit. On y retrouve des thèmes liés à la désillusion et à une quête de sens, le tout sur fond d'un cadre urbain qui symbolise la froideur et le déclin. Le contexte semble être celui d'une génération désabusée, confrontée à des incertitudes sur l'avenir, y compris la question de fonder une famille. Malgré cette atmosphère légèrement désespérée, une invitation à se laisser porter par le moment présent et à simplement attendre un changement perce dans les paroles. C'est un rappel que, parfois, lâcher prise et accepter l'incertitude peut être une forme de sérénité.
