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
                       F                 C
And you call me in the mornin' with your troubles
          G               Am
Takin' it down town every night
                        F                 C
I could never place the stars at night above ya
                    G                       Am
Got my hands in the ground and you know I'm right


[Chorus]
            F         C
You wait so long
            G   Am
You wait so lo--ng
            F         C
You wait so long
            G   Am
You wait so lo--ng

[Verse 2]
                      F                  C
It's a coffee stained Earth everytime it happens
            G                   Am
Laugh it up honey it ain't that bad
                     F             C
And the afterthought rose to recongnition
                 G             Am
Like every other coffin that I had
                    F           C
And you Buick broke down in Winamurke
                 G                         F
You fall to your knees and you pray to the Lord
            F               C
Make take a poke at the politicians
                         G                 Am
Nothin' happends in this burnt out town anymore


[Chorus]
            F       C
You wait so long (Long)
            G   Am
You wait so lo--ng
            F       C
You wait so long (Long)
            G   Am
You wait so lo--ng
            F       C
You wait so long (Long)
            G   Am
You wait so lo--ng
            F       C
You wait so long (Long)
            G     F Am
You wait so lo------ng

[Verse 3]
                     F                  C
And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train
                   G             Am
You know that I'll help you if I can
               F               C
But I'm just a raindrop in the 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 learned
                          F                C
But it's better than your five-earned fornication
              G                 Am
And the dirty money that you've earned


[Chorus]
N.C.        F       C
You wait so long (Long)
            G   Am
You wait so lo--ng
            F       C
You wait so long (Long)
            G
You wait so lo--ng
            F       C
You wait so long (Long)
            F   C
You wait so lo--ng
            F       C
You wait so long (Long)
            G       Am
You wait so lo------ng


[Outro]

You wait so long
