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

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

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 (repeat): F   C   G   Am
