Waiting in the weeds

Tempo 91, Capo I
 
[Verse]
 G9                        E9 
It's coming on the end of August
 G9                              E9 
Another summer's promise almost gone
               C9                                 G9 
And thought I heard some wise men say that every dog will have his day
          F                                    Am      D 
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
 
 
              G9                            E9 
I don't know when I realized the dream was over
                G9                           E9 
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
             C9                                    G9 
You know it didn't go down in flame, there was no final scene, no frozen frame
 F                              Am      D 
I just watched it slowly fade away
 
[Chorus]
---------------------------------------------------
     Em                       G 
And I've been waiting in the weeds
                Am            C      D 
Waiting for my time to come around again
     Em                      G 
And hope is floating on the breeze
             Am            C        D 
Carrying my soul high up above the ground
 
 
     Em                     G 
And I've been keeping to myself,
                  Am           C     D 
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing 
 Em                                  G 
you and though you're with somebody else
                      Am             C      D 
He'll never love you like I do 
---------------------------------------------------
 
[Verse]
 G9                                    E9 
I've been biding time with crows and sparrows,
       G9                                  E9 
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage.
            C9                    G9 
If finding love is just a dance, proximity and chance
            F                           Am      D 
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade.
 
[Chorus]
     Em                       G 
And I've been waiting in the weeds,
                 Am             C 
Waiting for the dust to settle down 
  D        Em                              G 
Along the back roads, running through the fields
              Am                C        D 
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
 
       Em                       G 
And I imagine sunlight in your hair
                      Am                   C         D 
you're at the county fair, You're holding hands and laughing
     Em                        G 
And now the Ferris Wheel has stopped,
                        Bm             F# 
You're swinging on the top, suspended there with him
     G                       D                       Bm 
And he's the darling of the chic, the flavor of the week
    F#      G                       D                  Bm          F# 
Is melting down your pretty summer dress, baby what a mess you're making

I've been stumbling though some dark places
But I'm following the plow
I know I've fallen out of your good graces
But it's all right now.
 
 
And I've been waiting in the weeds,
Waiting for the summer rain to fall
Upon the wild birds, scattering the seeds,
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune,
the phases of the moon, the chambers of the heart, the egg and dart
A small, gray spider spinning in the dark,
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart.
