G          
When I was a younger man I thought 

            C                    D6
the pain of defeat would last forever 

    G
But now I don't know what it 

      C               D6         Em      C
would take to make my heart back down

        Em                         C
Cause I only have to wait a little while 

       D6    G                   (Riff)
Before I get my clean slate    

     G
Then somewhere in another place,

                 C          D6 
Who knows? Could be another lifetime

G  
Everything we gave away

C                          D6        Em   C  
Returns like a seed from a fugitive tree

        Em                         C
And you only have to wait a little while 

       D6    G                   (Riff)
Before you find the truth    

        Em                         C
Yeah I only had to wait a little while (x3)

       D6    G              
Before I got my clean slate
