Em 
I can't wait 
A                         Em 
Wait for you to change my mind 
 
It's late 
A                     Em 
I'm tryin to walk the line 
 
Well it's way past midnight 
 
And there's some people all around 
A 
Some on their way up 
 
Some on their way down 
Em                               A 
The air burns and I'm tryin to think straight 
C                B7                    Em 
And I don't know how much longer I can wait 
 
I'm your man 

I've tried to recover the sweet love that we knew 

You understand 

That my heart can't go on beating without you 

Well your loveliness has wounded me 

I'm reeling from the blow 

I wish I knew what it was that keeps me loving you so 

I'm breathin' hard standin' at the gate 

And I don't know how much longer I can wait 
 
Skies are gray 

I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow 

Night or day 

It doesn't matter where I go anymore I just go 1) 

If I ever saw you comin' I don't know what I might do 

I'd like to think I could control myself 

But it isn't true 

That's how it is 

When things disintegrate 

And I don't know how much longer I can wait 
 

              A 
I'm doomed to love you 
                              Em 
I been rollin' through stormy weather 
             A 
I'm thinkin' of you 
                                 B4 
And all the places we could roam together 
 

            Em 
It's mighty funny 
The end of time has just begun 
Oh honey, after all these years you're still the one 
Well I'm strollin' through the lonely graveyard of my mind 
I left my life with you 
Somewhere back there along the line 
I thought somehow that I would be spared this day 
I don't know how much longer I can wait
