               Em  - A                                             Em

1. I can't wait,       wait for you to change my mind,

         Em   - A                                 Em

    it's late,        I'm tryin to walk the line.

                   Em

    Well, it's way past midnight, and there's some people all around,

A

    some on their way up, some on their way down.

Em                                                          A

    The air burns and I'm tryin to think straight,

C                                              B7                  Em

    and I don't know how much longer I can wait.

 

                    Em          A                                                            Em

2. I'm your man, I've tried to recover the sweet love that we knew,

                      Em      A                                                             Em

    you understand that my heart can't go on beating without you.

                     Em

    Well, your loveliness has wounded me, I'm reeling from the blow,

         A

    I wish I knew what it was that keeps me loving you so.

                          Em                           A

    I'm breathin' hard standin' at the gate,

                    C                                B7                Em

    ah, but I don't know how much longer I can wait.

 

                     Em  - A                                                                            Em

3. Skies are gray,     I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow,

                   Em                   A                                               Em

    night or day, it doesn't matter where I go anymore I just go.

          Em 

     If I ever saw you comin' I don't know what I might do,

A

    I'd like to think I could control myself, but it isn't true.

                        Em                                 A

    That's how it is when things disintegrate,

                C                              B7                 Em

    and I don't know how much longer I can wait.

 

                             A                                                           Em

+  I'm doomed to love you, I been rollin' through stormy weather,

                       A                                                                  B7

    I'm thinkin' of you and all the places we could roam together.

 

                     Em      - A                                             Em

4. It's mighty funny,        the end of time has just begun,

            Em    - A                                                       Em

    oh, honey,      after all these years you're still the one.

                      Em

    Well, I'm strollin' through the lonely graveyard of my mind,

A

    I left my life with you somewhere back there along the line.

                     Em                                                      A

    I thought somehow that I would be spared this day,

C                                        B7                Em

    I don't know how much longer I can wait.

 

+  Em - A   - Em - A   - Em .....
