Wait So Long by Trampled By Turtles
Wait So Long
F C G Am
i could never pretend i don't love you
you could never pretend that i'm your man
thats exactly the way that i want it
thats exactly the way that i am
and you'll call me in the mornin with your troubles
takin it downtown every night
i could never place the stars at night above ya
got my hands on the ground cuz you know i'm right
you wait so long
its a coffe stain on earth every time it happens
laugh it up honey it ain't that bad
and the after thought rose to recognition
like eery other coffin that i had
then your feelin broke down in winamuck
you fall to your knees and you pray to the lord
then you take a poke at the politicians
nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore
you wait so long
and your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train
you know that i'll help you if i can
but i'm just a raindrop in a riVer
just an itty bitty grain of sand
and you know that i'm doom to repeat this
with all the bad habits that i learned
but its better than your fiber fornication
and all the dirty money that you earned
you wait so long

version 2
Chords : F C G Am
for the whole song. Chords carry over to next line (which is why it starts with Am)
Strumming sounds good with up/down continuously pretty fast.
(Am) 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:
(Am) F C
You wait so long
G Am
You wait so long
F C
You wait so long
G Am
You wait so long
It's a coffee stained earth every time it happens
laugh it up honey it ain't that bad
and the afterthought rose to recognition
like every other coffin that i had
Then your Buick broke down in Winamuck
you fall to your knees and you pray to the lord
then you take a poke at the politicians
nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore
you wait so long (x4)
And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train
you know that I'd help you if i can
but i'm just a raindrop in a river
just a little itty bitty grain of sand
And you know that i'm doomed to repeat this
with all the bad habits that i learned
but its better than your fire burnt fornication *
and all the dirty money that you earned
you wait so long (x4)
you wait so long (x4)
