A minorAm            Am/GAm/G
I know where you're going
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And I see where you been
A minorAm          Am/GAm/G
Patience is a virtue
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And mine with you is wearing thin
   G+G    A minorAm C/EC/E Fmaj7Fmaj7 C/EC/E FF
It's easy to sit and wait

A minorAm               Am/GAm/G
Speak with words you've stolen
Fmaj7Fmaj7
From better men than you
A minorAm             Am/GAm/G
Doors they helped you open
Fmaj7Fmaj7
In time will cease to let you through
   G+G    A minorAm  C/EC/E Fmaj7Fmaj7 G/DG/D C/EC/E A minorAm G+G
Is it easy to stand and sigh?
G+G      A minorAm  C/EC/E Fmaj7Fmaj7
Bid another friend goodbye?

C/EC/E FF A minorAm
Oh oh ooooh
  Am/GAm/G Fmaj7Fmaj7
Oh oh ooooh
C/EC/E FF A minorAm
Oh oh ooooh
  Am/GAm/G Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G  A minorAm G+G  FF G+G
Oh oh ooooh

A minorAm               Am/GAm/G
Lights can shine too bright, dear
Fmaj7Fmaj7
So nobody can see
A minorAm                Am/GAm/G
Hide safe behind your light, dear
Fmaj7Fmaj7
But understand it won't blind me
    G+G      A minorAm C/EC/E Fmaj7Fmaj7 G/DG/D C/EC/E A minorAm G+G
And I know it would do no good
      A minorAm C/EC/E Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'd hurt you if I could

C/EC/E FF A minorAm
Oh oh ooooh (See my eyes)
  Am/GAm/G Fmaj7Fmaj7
Oh oh ooooh (Open wide)
C/EC/E FF A minorAm
Oh oh ooooh (Speak up now)
  Am/GAm/G Fmaj7Fmaj7           G+G      A minorAm  G+G  FF G+G
Oh oh ooooh (Hold your peace forever and be done)

A minorAm                     Am/GAm/G
Eyes down, door closed, keep quiet, growing old
 Fmaj7Fmaj7
I know you, I see you cling to the road you ride on
 A minorAm                      Am/GAm/G
Homeless, more or less, skin and bone, on your own
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'll be alright, I'm doing fine, keep my tongue behind
  A minorAm                  Am/GAm/G
my teeth and get gone, you never were anyone
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Keep your words, keep your mind, I'll keep my tongue behind
  A minorAm      Am/GAm/G  Fmaj7Fmaj7
my teeth, tongue behind my teeth

G+G      A minorAm C/EC/E Fmaj7Fmaj7 G/DG/D C/EC/E A minorAm G+G
And I know it would do no good
       A minorAm C/EC/E Fmaj7Fmaj7
But I'd hurt you if I could

C/EC/E FF A minorAm
Oh oh ooooh
