Wait So Long - Motion City Soundtrack
* = single stroke
[Verse 1]
                  F*                     C*
I could never pretend that I don't love you
              G*                 Am*
You could 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
And you call me in the Fmornin' with your Ctroubles
Takin' it Gdown town every Amnight
I could never place the Fstars at night aboCve ya
Got my hands in the Gground and you know I'm Amright
[Chorus]
You wait so FlongC  
You wait so Glo--Amng
You wait so FlongC  
You wait so Glo--Amng
[Instrumental]
 F   C   G   Am(x2)
[Verse 2]
It's a coffee stained FEarth everytime it Chappens
Laugh it up Ghoney it ain't that Ambad
And the afterthought Frose to recongCnition
Like every other Gcoffin that I Amhad
And you Buick broke Fdown in WinaCmurke
You fall to your Gknees and you pray to the FLord
Make take a Fpoke at the poliCticians
Nothin' happends in this Gburnt out town anyAmmore
[Chorus]
You wait so Flong (LoCng)
You wait so Glo--Amng
You wait so Flong (LoCng)
You wait so Glo--Amng
You wait so Flong (LoCng)
You wait so Glo--Amng
You wait so Flong (LoCng)
You wait so Glo----F--Amng
[Instrumental]
 Am   F   G   Am(x2)
[Bridge]
AmWoah-Goh
AmOoh-Woah-FOh
AmWoah-Goh
AmOoh-Woah-FOh
[Instrumental]
 Am   F   G   Am(x2)
[Verse 3]
And your heart rolls Fon like a frozen frCeight train
You know that I'll Ghelp you if I Amcan
But I'm just a Fraindrop in the Criver
Just a little itty-Gbitty grain of Amsand
                       F*          C*
And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this
                  G*            Am*
With all the bad habits that I learned
But it's better than your Ffive-earned forniCcation
And the dirty Gmoney that you've Amearned
[Chorus]
N.C.               F  C  
You wait so long (Long)
You wait so Glo--Amng
You wait so Flong (LoCng)
You wait so Glo--ng
You wait so Flong (LoCng)
You wait so Flo--Cng
You wait so Flong (LoCng)
You wait so Glo------Amng
