G I went to a gay bar B7 And I looked at all the paintings Em If you see somebody C Studying paintings in a gay bar, that's me
G And all the boys were laughing B7 And all the girls were dancing Em And I thought for a moment, C I saw someone in between
G So, do you want to talk to me? B7 Do you want to dance with me? EmC Do you want to get drunk and discuss anthropology?
G I don't really care that much B7 No, I don't care at all Em I just don't want to be alone C when I hit that wall
CD 'Cause all of my life GG/F#Em oh, all of my life CD I've been waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting Waiting in line
GG/F#G (x 2)
G so I went to the gay bar C7 and I got myself a haircut Em I was feeling pretty good C thinking I looked like I should G and at the door there was a fee B7 and once inside would you believe Em no one even took a second C to take a second glance at me?
G so, do you want to talk to me B7 do you want to dance with me Em do you want to get drunk C and discuss anthropology? G I don't really care that much B7 no, I don't care at all Em I just don't want to be alone C when I take that fall
'cause all D of my life GG/F#Em all of my life CD I've been waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting Waiting in line
GG/F#G (x 2)
G so I went to the gay bar B7 only stayed an hour or two Em then I mustered up the courage to come C crawling back to you G and I know that that's bad etiquette B7 and I know it's pretty low Em but I realized that I love you C and I thought you ought to know
G so, say that you'll still talk to me B7 say that you'll still dance with me C say you want to stay at home and discuss anthropology G 'cause I don't really care that much B7 but I'd pretend for you Em let me say again so it sinks in C how I'm sorry and I love you
'cause all D of my life, in fact GG/F#Em all of our lives CD We are waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting For the right time
