John Gorka - A Saint's Complaint
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:   G    Am    C       G    Am    C    G  
I never lived anywhereAm  
I didn't mind leavingC  
I never knew anyplace
I Gdidn't want to go
Short on the givingAm  
Long on receivingC  
I never knew anythingG  
I didn't Dwant to CknowG  
I liked the townsAm  
I liked the people
But the Cbrown bugs in my bed
I Gcould have done without
I liked the taconiteAm  
Slate roofs and steeplesC  
A few crucial detailGs
Of mDy whereaCbouts
CHORUS:
Don't think you Gshould hesitateAm  
Nothing comes Cto those who DwaitC  
Once I heard Ga saint's complaint, he saidAm  
"Good things come to Cthose Dwho Gain't"Am  
"Who Cain't"
INTERLUDE:   D    G    Am    C    D  G  
So I moved westAm  
To where your weather comes fromC  
Or where your weather goes
GWhen it's done with you
I've got a place hereAm  
I've got a family
More to Clove, more to feel, more to Gdo
And Dmore to CloseD  G  
So, I've got a tasteAm  
Of what I've been missingC  
There's hardly anywhere
I Greally want to go
There's more to giveAm  
More room to breath inC  
I hardly see anyoneG  
That I don't Dwant to CknowG  C  D  C  
CHORUS:
Don't think you Gshould hesitateAm  
Nothing comes Cto those who DwaitC  
Once I heard Ga saint's complaint, he saidAm  
"Good things come to Cthose Dwho Gain't"Am  C  D  C  
Don't think you Gshould hesitateAm
