Standard (EADGBE)
Waited for an answer
Cause I waited twenty-five years
They stopped my bleeding
But could never stop all those tears
Waiting for the day when
You came out from beneath all that weight
I've tried to lift it
But it seems I got there too late
Just too late
Just too late
I'm allowed
Came to the party
But I got my own signals crossed
Thought I was welcome
But I felt like I should get lost
Know that I'm older
'Cause I feel that everywhere
I could talk to no one
'Cause I knew not one person there
No one's there
They just stared
'Cause they're allowed
As vivid as a car-wreck
Watch them dripping off highway ramps
She came to me smiling
With her heart underneath both her hands
She spoke of a French boy
At least two times through the night
It could have been the liquor
Or the music, but that is alright
That's alright
She's allowed
I'm allowed
I'm allowed
I'm allowed
