[Intro]
F     C     G     Am
     F       C       G   Am(Let Ring)
[Verse 1]
I could never Fpretend that I don't Clove you
You could never preGtend that I'm your Amman
That's exactly the Fway that I Cwant it
That's exactly the Gway that I Amam
And you call me in the Fmorning with your Ctroubles
Takin' it Gdowntown every Amnight
I could never place the Fstars at night Cabove ya
I got my hands on the Gground
and you know I'm Amright
[Chorus]
You wait so FlongC  
You wait so GlongAm  
You wait so FlongC  
You wait so GlongAm

[Verse 2]
It's a coffee stained Fearth every time it Chappens
Liven up Ghoney it ain't that Ambad
And the after thought Frose to recogCnition
Like every other Gcoffin that I Amhad  
And your Buick broke Fdown in CWinnemucca,
Fall to your Gknees and you pray to the Amlord
Then you take up Fhope at the poliCticians
Nothing happens in this Gburnt out town anyAmmore
[Chorus]
You wait so FlongC  
You wait so Glong Am  
You wait so FlongC  
You wait so GlongAm

F     C     G     Am
F     C     G     Am
[Verse 3]
And your heart rolls Fon like a frozen Cfreight train
You know that I Ghelp you if I Amcan
But I'm just a Fraindrop in a Criver
Just a little itty-Gbitty grain of Amsand
And you know that I'm Fdoomed to reCpeat this
With all the bad Ghabits that I've lAmearned
But it's better than your Ffire-borne forniCcation
And all the dirty Gmoney that you Amearn
[Chorus]
You wait so FlongC  
You wait so GlongAm  
You wait so FlongC  
You wait so GlongAm

[Intro]

F C G Am

(Let Ring)

[Verse 1]

F C

I could never pretend that I don't love you

G Am

You could never pretend that I'm your man

F C

That's exactly the way that I want it

G Am

That's exactly the way that I am

F C

And you call me in the morning with your troubles

G Am

Takin' it downtown every night

F C

I could never place the stars at night above ya

I got my hands on the ground

and you know I'm right

[Chorus]

F C

You wait so long

G Am

You wait so long

F C

You wait so long

G Am

You wait so long

[Break]

F C G Am

[Verse 2]

F C

It's a coffee stained earth every time it happens

G Am

Liven up honey it ain't that bad

F C

And the after thought rose to recognition

G Am

Like every other coffin that I had

F C

And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca,

G Am

Fall to your knees and you pray to the lord

F C

Then you take up hope at the politicians

G Am

Nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore

[Chorus]

F C

You wait so long

G Am

You wait so long

F C

You wait so long

G Am

You wait so long

[Break]

F C G Am

[Verse 3]

F C

And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train

G Am

You know that I help you if I can

F C

But I'm just a raindrop in a river

G Am

Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand

F C

And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this

G Am

With all the bad habits that I've learned

F C

But it's better than your fire-borne fornication

G Am

And all the dirty money that you earn

[Chorus]

F C

You wait so long

G Am

You wait so long

F C

You wait so long

G Am

You wait so long

Ending

F C G Am
