Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Ive been waiting for you, my dear

Ive been waiting for you

over valleys and mountains

it helps to keep counting the days

and last night felt kind of strange, my dear

last night felt kind of strange

all those blankets and sheets

and those lies through your teeth that i fell through

and closing the doors never helped me close up the room

now im hosting the gathering

when all the men will be boys

and the girls sing the chorus again

and ive been writing your name, sweet pea

Ive been writing your name

on the hotel halls and all the bathroom stalls

its for you

and you came to one of my shows

i saw your face from the candle light glow

and my fingers forgot where to push in the knots of the wood

and closing the doors never helped me close up the room

now im hosting the gathering

when all the men will be boys and the girls sing the chorus again, again

(Strum Once)

and closing the doors never helped me close up the room

now im hosting the gathering

when all the men will be boys and the girls sing the chorus again.

and holding your hand never helped me forget the truth.

now im hoping your right this time,

[and all the men will grow up

and the girls start to see a new day ] x2

but all the men will be boys

and the girls sing the chorus again.

End on G

:)
