Standard (EADGBE)

Lady so black

Like a million cemetery lawns

I don't even try anymore

Keeping up with the headstones

Maybe I've been waiting too long, too long

For somebody to throw my kinda party

And I know, I'm too old

Stadiums cry

Go on wait until your band gets back together

Don't you think it's probably time you sit and write your fans an apology letter

Maybe you've been waiting too long, too long

For somebody to throw your kinda party

And you're old, you're too old

(Chorus)

If you're waiting for an invitation

You're gonna wait a long time

Wait a long time, wait a long time

If you're looking for an invitation

It's never gonna come, it's never gonna come

You're never gonna get one

Lovers they try, they try to whip the stars into compliance

Careful, don't you pull too hard

Don't want to knock the planets out of alignment

Maybe you've been waiting too long, too long

For somebody to show to the party

And you're old, you're too old

(Chorus)

If you're waiting for an invitation

You're gonna wait a long time

Wait a long time, wait a long time

If you're looking for an invitation

It's never gonna come, it's never gonna come

You're never gonna get one

If you're waiting for an invitation

You're gonna wait a long time

Wait a long time, wait a long time, wait a long time, you're gonna wait a long time,

wait a long time, wait a long time,... (fade)
