Same chords for the whole song. Strumming sounds good with up/down continuously pretty fast.
[Intro]
F C G Am
F C G Am
[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
[Bridge]
F C G Am
F C G Am
[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
[Bridge]
(strum once each)
F C G Am
(strum once til C, then pick up speed)

F C G Am
F C G Am
(I usually skip to verse here,
unless you've got some crazy violinist with you)
F C G Am
F C G Am
[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 fiber and 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]
