Chords

Same chords for the whole song. Strumming sounds good with up/down continuously pretty fast. [Intro] F C G Am F C G Am [Verse 1]
              F                    C
I could never pretend that I don't love you

                G                     Am
You could never 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 downtown every night

                        F                    C
I could never place the stars at night above ya

                     G                       Am
Got my hands on the ground and you know I'm right
[Chorus]
             F     C
You wait so long

             G     Am
You wait so long

             F     C
You wait so long

             G     Am
You wait so long
[Bridge] F C G Am F C G Am [Verse 2]
                       F                     C
It's a coffee stained earth every time it happens

               G                 Am
Laugh it up honey it ain't that bad

                       F            C
And the afterthought rose to recognition

                    G           Am
Like every other coffin that I had

                       F              C
And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca

                    G                       Am
You fall to your knees and you pray to the lord

                  F                C
Then you take a poke at the politicians

                          G                 Am
Nothing happens in this burnt down town anymore
[Chorus]
             F     C
You wait so long

             G     Am
You wait so long

             F     C
You wait so long

             G     Am
You wait so long
[Bridge] (strum once each)
F      C       G       Am
(strum once til C, then pick up speed)
F C G Am F C G Am
F   C   G   Am
(I usually skip to verse here,
unless you've got some crazy violinist with you) F C G Am F C G Am [Verse 3]
                     F                C
And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train

                    G            Am
You know that I'd help you if I can

                 F              C
But I'm just a raindrop in a 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 its better than your fire-borne fornication

                   G              Am
And all the dirty money that you earned
[Chorus]
             F     C
You wait so long

             G     Am
You wait so long

             F     C
You wait so long

             G     Am
You wait so long

             F     C
You wait so long

             G     Am
You wait so long

             F     C
You wait so long

             G     Am
You wait so long
[Outro] F C G Am F C G Am F C G Am
F   C   G        Am
(G several downchords then let ring with Am)
