Intro: G D Em C
G D
At six o clock the sun goes down
Em C
And the thoughts in my head they spin around
G D Em C
As I get caught up in this lie
G D
I watch a flame of a lighter I bought from the store
Em C
Till it burns my hand and falls to the floor
G D Em C
No I guess I?ll never learn
Am? C D
You play with fire your bound to get burned
Chorus:
C G
and I?m just waiting on time
D G
To cure my wounds and heal my mind
C G D
I got a pounding head and a heavy heart to match
C G D G
And I cant see living like this maybe what I want is what I?ll get
C G D
But I aint got a reason or a rhyme
G
I?m just waiting on time
G D
I saw a ragweed show down at Saengerhall
Em C
on a Friday night in the early fall
G D Em C
but they couldn?t help to change my tune
G D
so I went home all by myself
Em C
cursing my luck and my good health
G D Em C
to bang my head on the wall of my room
Am? C D
I just didn?t have anything better to do
Chorus
D C
Well time is the one thing
G D
That I know might change her mind
D G
Even if she don?t love me
C D
I know someday I?ll be alright
Chorus
