Intro
I used to be content to frown
But anything for money now
I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl
I used to get drunk on Spanish wine
Well, now I'm drunk most all the time
I guess I've been to grateful for too long
*chorus*
So I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cars
[G/f#]
Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
So I wait, hey hey
Yes I wait, hey hey
Verse 2
same*
Well I had a girl in London town
She picked me up and spun me round
I guess she was a mannish kind of girl
I went away and I still don't know why
Six feet under is where my bloody heart lies
I'm just afraid I can't forget her now
Chorus
same*
So I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cars
Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
So I wait, hey hey
So I wait, hey hey, hey hey
Verse 3
same*
I used to be too big too crawl
Now I don't give a damn at all
I'd rather be a mannish kind of girl
Yeah I used to get drunk on that Spanish wine
But now I'm drunk most all the time
I guess I'm just afraid I can't forget her now
Chorus
same - keep repeating D A Em7 G over extra lines*
And so I sit around and wait
And watch the grass grow green
And count the cars
Feeling lost alone and misunderstood
So I wait, hey hey
Yeah I wait, hey hey
Yes I wait, hey hey
Yeah I wait, hey hey, hey hey
