John Gorka - A Saint's Complaint
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G Am C G Am C G
Am
I never lived anywhere
C
I didn't mind leaving
I never knew anyplace
G
I didn't want to go
Am
Short on the giving
C
Long on receiving
G
I never knew anything
D C G
I didn't want to know
Am
I liked the towns
I liked the people
C
But the brown bugs in my bed
G
I could have done without
Am
I liked the taconite
C
Slate roofs and steeples
G
A few crucial details
D C
Of my whereabouts
CHORUS:
G Am
Don't think you should hesitate
C D C
Nothing comes to those who wait
G Am
Once I heard a saint's complaint, he said
C D G Am
"Good things come to those who ain't"
C
"Who ain't"
INTERLUDE: D G Am C D G
Am
So I moved west
C
To where your weather comes from
Or where your weather goes
G
When it's done with you
Am
I've got a place here
I've got a family
C G
More to love, more to feel, more to do
D C D G
And more to lose
Am
So, I've got a taste
C
Of what I've been missing
There's hardly anywhere
G
I really want to go
Am
There's more to give
C
More room to breath in
G
I hardly see anyone
D C G C D C
That I don't want to know
CHORUS:
G Am
Don't think you should hesitate
C D C
Nothing comes to those who wait
G Am
Once I heard a saint's complaint, he said
C D G Am C D C
"Good things come to those who ain't"
G Am
Don't think you should hesitate
