a soul 'tied down' is nothing to cry

G D

about

[Pre-Chorus]

i've got long hairs

and some beat up shoes

i've got a real bad case

D Em C G

of them 'tryin to forget you's'

[Chorus]

i'm running around not

knowing where i'm going

or how you're doing

if this is winning

then i'd rather be losing

well you got time and space

but this waiting won't go to waste

Em D G C

if this is living, honey i'm dying

i'm dying to be close to you

C Em C

[Verse 2]

you had me hanging

on your words and praying for that smile

every time i saw you

silently hoping you'd stay for a while

no i would never get tired,

C G

you'd never grow old

they say i'm young and dumb

Em C

for still holding out my hopes,

G D

i'm holding out my hopes

[Pre-Chorus]

i've got long hairs

and some beat up shoes

i've got a real bad case

D Em C G

of them can't seem to get over you's

[Chorus]

i'm running around not

knowing where i'm going

or how you're doing

if this is winning

then i'd rather be losing

well you got time and space

but this waiting won't go to waste

Em D G C

if this is living, honey i'm dying

G C

i'm dying to be close to you

Em C G

i'm dying to be close to you

[Chorus]

i'm running around not

knowing where i'm going

I wonder how you're doin

if this is winning

it sure feels like i'm losing

I'll give you time and space

just hope this waiting won't go to waste

Em D G C

if this is living, honey i'm dying

i'm dying to be close to you
