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

:)
