Intro 

(INTRO/ LINK RIFF), F 


verse 1 

      C                             G 
Well I turned out my pockets at the end of the night, 
Am7                             G                 F 
   Still had some money I was doing alright but I knew 

(same chords) 

I heard the fireworks cracking and the sky was golden, 
Chinese lanterns set free on the rise but I knew 

Em            F                 C 
   Love don't wait around for you 

(INTRO/ LINK RIFF) 

verse 2 (same chords as verse 1) 

I took one for the team but I never played the same, 
They wrote my story and they asked for my name but I knew 
And I learned how to lie how to make believe, 
I tried for hours to pull you out of my sleve but I knew 


G             G/A       G/B     C          F 
   Love don't wait around for you to catch on 
G          G/A      G/B     C               F 
   Try to work it out you won't before it's gone 
G             G/A    G/B     C              F 
   Life don't always go the way you want it to 
Em             F                C 
   And I can't wait around for you 

(INTRO/ LINK RIFF) 


verse 3 (same chords as other verses) 

All the guests at my table were folks I didn't know, 
I sang for hours yeah I put on a show but I knew 
And then I saw you one time you just turned and ran, 
I danced cartwheels around you and I walked on my hands but I knew 



G             G/A       G/B     C          F 
   Love don't wait around for you to catch on 
G          G/A      G/B     C               F 
   Try to work it out you won't before it's gone 
G             G/A    G/B     C              F 
   Life don't always go the way you want it to 
Em             F 
   And I can't wait around
