                    THE LONGEST LINE
                       THE POSIES

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE
            F          Gm           F        Gm
I`ve spent half of my life in this godawful place
       F            Gm         Dm    Dm
And I dare say I`ve only grown older
          F         Gm      F            Gm
I`ve had all I can take of patience and kindness
         F            Gm       Dm    Dm
I can`t wait in this line any longer

     A#                    Dm  C
But this is the way that I am, so


VERSE:
F                   G
If you choose me, please abuse me
 F              G
Never mind the mileage
            F            G
There`s no harming me intrinsically
     F             G
And every sign of wear and tear
    Gm                   A#
Is lost in autumn foliage
 A#                F     G F G
Well aren`t you impressed


VERSE:
 F               G
Now I`m stating endless waiting
F               G
Is my favorite pastime
         F              G
There`s nothing new for me to do
    F             G
And so I have to wonder
           Gm         A#
Will there ever be a last time
                 F   G F G Am
`Cause I need a rest


CHORUS:
 Am              A#        Am
Standing in the longest li-ine
 Am             A#
Waiting for my turn
Am                A#             C
  I wonder if my turn will ever come

VERSE:
  F                 G
Chronic starts and perfect martyr
 F            G
Never need a reason
       F                 G
Oh I guess that I could hibernate
    F              G
Or move away to a warmer place
     Gm                    A#
Only for a change of season
 A#                F  G  F  G  Am
When will my sun shine


CHORUS:
  Am              A#        Am
Standing in the longest li-ine
 Am             A#
Waiting for my turn
Am                A#             C
  I wonder if my turn will ever come

BREAK:
G#m                       C#m
Now please don`t show me spring time flowers
G#m                         C#m
  It`d be more than I could take
G#m                         C#m
  After living through the clouds and showers
G#m                 C#   F
  Oh, I can hardly waaaaaaait

CHORUS:
Am                 A#        Am
  Standing in the longest li-ine
 Am             A#
Waiting for my turn
Am                A#             C   D
  I wonder if my turn will ever come


VERSE:
                 G            Am           G        Am
If you`ve spent half of your life in this godawful place
           G               Am         Em
You will swear that you`ve only grown older
C             G            Am        G            Am
If you treat everyone you know with patience and kindness
          G            Am            Em   Em
You will not know yourself for much longer


OUTRO:
       D                     Em
Well, this is what I have become
  D             G   Am  G
Standing in my line
 Am      G   Am  G
Longest line
 Am       G   Am  G
Longest line
 Am      G   Am  G
Longest line
 Am       G   Am  G
