Wait So Long
Written by Dave Simonett
Recorded by Trampled by Turtles

Intro.:  |(F) |(C) |(G) |(Am) | x 4 times

I could never pre-(F)tend that I don't (C)love you
You could never pre-(G)tend that I'm your (Am)man
That's exactly the (F)way that I (C)want it
That's exactly the (G)way that I (Am)am

And you call me in the (F)morning with your (C)troubles
Takin' it (G)downtown every (Am)night
I could never place the (F)stars at night a-(C)bove ya
I got my hands on the (G)ground, and you know I'm (Am)right

(Chorus)
You wait so (F)long, (C) you wait so (G)long (Am)
You wait so (F)long, (C) you wait so (G)long (Am)

Solo:  |(F) |(C) |(G) |(Am) | x 2

It's a coffee-stained earth (F)every time it (C)happens
Liven up (G)honey, it ain't that (Am)bad
Any afterthought (F)rose to recog-(C)nition
Like every other (G)coffin that I (Am)had

And your Buick broke (F)down in Winne-(C)mucca
Fall to your (G)knees and you pray to the (Am)lord
Then you take up (F)hope at the poli-(C)ticians
Nothing happens in this (G)burnt out town any-(Am)more

Repeat Chorus

Solo:  |(F) |(C) |(G) |(Am) | x 6

And your heart (F)rolls on like a frozen (C)freight train
You know that I'd (G)help you if I (Am)can
But I'm just a (F)raindrop in a (C)river
Just a little itty-(G)bitty grain of (Am)sand

And you know that I'm (F)doomed to re-(C)peat this
With all the bad (G)habits that I've (Am)learned
But it's better than your (F)fire-borne forni-(C)cation
And all the dirty (G)money that you (Am)earn

Repeat Chorus x 2

Solo:  |(F) |(C) |(G) |(Am) | x 4
