GEm
It’s comin’ on the end of August GEm Another summer’s promise almost gone C And though I heard some wise man say G
That every dog will have his day FAmD
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long GEmG
I don’t know when I realized the dream was over Em
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day C
You know, it didn’t go down in flame G
There was no final scene, no frozen frame FAmD
I just watched it slowly fade away
EmG And I’ve been waiting in the weeds AmC
Waiting for my time to come around again and EmG
Hope is floating on the breeze AmC Carrying my soul high up above the ground and EmG
I’ve been keepin’ to myself Knowin’ AmC
that the seasons are slowly changing EmG Even though you’re with somebody else AmC
He’ll never love you like I do
GEm
I’ve been biding time with the crows and sparrows GEm
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage CG
If finding love is just a dance Proximity and chance FAmD
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
EmG And I’ve been waiting in the weeds AmC
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the EmG Back roads running through the fields AmC
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town EmG And I imagine sunlight in your hair Am
You’re at the county fair C
You’re holding hands and laughing EmG And now the ferris wheel has stopped Bm
You’re swinging on the top F#
Suspended there with him GD And he’s the darling of the sheik BmF#
The flavor of the week is melting GD Down your pretty summer dress F# Baby, what a mess you’re making

I’ve been stumbling through some dark places DA#5+
Now I’m following the plow BmA#5+
I know I’ve fallen out of your good graces AmD
It’s alright now EmG And I’ve been waiting in the weeds AmC
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the EmG
Wild birds scattering the seeds AmC Answering the calling of the tide’s eternal tune EmG
The phases of the moon Am
The chambers of the heart C
The ebb and dart of small gray EmG
Spiders spinning in the dark AmC
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart EmG And I’ve been waiting in the weeds AmC
Waiting for the time to come around again and EmG
Hope is floating on the breeze AmC Carrying my soul high up above the ground and EmG
I’ve been keepinl to myself AmC
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing EmG Even though you’re with somebody else AmG
He’ll never love you like I do
