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

You wait so long (Long)

You wait so lo--ng

You wait so long (Long)

[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)

You wait so lo--ng

You wait so long (Long)

You wait so lo--ng

You wait so lo------ng

You wait so long
