          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
Longest line
 Am   G  Am G
Longest line
 Am    G  Am G
Longest line  - FADE OUT
