Am            Am/G
I know where you're going
Fmaj7
And I see where you been
Am          Am/G
Patience is a virtue
Fmaj7
And mine with you is wearing thin
   G    Am C/E Fmaj7 C/E F
It's easy to sit and wait

Am               Am/G
Speak with words you've stolen
Fmaj7
From better men than you
Am             Am/G
Doors they helped you open
Fmaj7
In time will cease to let you through
   G    Am  C/E Fmaj7 G/D C/E Am G
Is it easy to stand and sigh?
G      Am  C/E Fmaj7
Bid another friend goodbye?

C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh
  Am/G Fmaj7
Oh oh ooooh
C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh
  Am/G Fmaj7 G  Am G  F G
Oh oh ooooh

Am               Am/G
Lights can shine too bright, dear
Fmaj7
So nobody can see
Am                Am/G
Hide safe behind your light, dear
Fmaj7
But understand it won't blind me
    G      Am C/E Fmaj7 G/D C/E Am G
And I know it would do no good
      Am C/E Fmaj7
I'd hurt you if I could

C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh (See my eyes)
  Am/G Fmaj7
Oh oh ooooh (Open wide)
C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh (Speak up now)
  Am/G Fmaj7           G      Am  G  F G
Oh oh ooooh (Hold your peace forever and be done)

Am                     Am/G
Eyes down, door closed, keep quiet, growing old
 Fmaj7
I know you, I see you cling to the road you ride on
 Am                      Am/G
Homeless, more or less, skin and bone, on your own
  Fmaj7
I'll be alright, I'm doing fine, keep my tongue behind
  Am                  Am/G
my teeth and get gone, you never were anyone
Fmaj7
Keep your words, keep your mind, I'll keep my tongue behind
  Am      Am/G  Fmaj7
my teeth, tongue behind my teeth

G      Am C/E Fmaj7 G/D C/E Am G
And I know it would do no good
       Am C/E Fmaj7
But I'd hurt you if I could

C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh
