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)
