Waiting In The Weeds Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]It's coming on the end of Aug[Em]ust
An[G]other summer's promise almost [Em]gone
And though I [C]heard some wise man say
That every [G]dog will have his day
He never [F]mentioned that these dog days
get so [Am]long[D]

[Verse 2]
I don't know [G]when I realized
the dream was [Em]over
Well, there was [G]no particular hour,
no given [Em]day
You know, it [C]didn't go down in flame
There was no [G]final scene, no frozen frame
[F]I just watched it slowly fade aw[Am]ay[D]

[Chorus 1]
And [Em]I've been waiting in the [G]weeds
Waiting for my [Am]time to come a[C]round again and
[Em]Hope is floating on the [G]breeze
Carrying my [Am]soul high up
a[C]bove the ground and
[Em]I've been keeping to my[G]self
Knowing that the [Am]seasons are [C]slowly changing
[Em]Even though you're with somebody [G]else
He'll never love you [Am]like I [C]do[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]I've been biding time
with the crows and [Em]sparrows
While [G]peacocks prance and strut
upon the [Em]stage
If finding [C]love is just a dance
[G]Proximity and chance
You will ex[F]cuse me if I skip
the masque[Am]rade[D]

[Chorus 2]
And [Em]I've been waiting in the [G]weeds
Waiting for the [Am]dust to settle [C]down along the
[Em]Back roads running through the [G]fields
Lying on the [Am]outskirts of this [C]lonesome town
And I i[Em]magine sunlight in your [G]hair
You're at the county [Am]fair
You're holding [C]hands and laughing
And [Em]now the ferris-wheel has s[G]topped
You're swinging on the [Bm]top
Suspended [F#]there with him
And [G]he's the darling of the [D]chic
The flavor of the [Bm]week is [F#]melting
[G]Down your pretty summer [D]dress
Baby, what a [F#]mess you're making

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][F#][D][F#]
[Bm][F#][D][F#]

[Bridge 1]
[Bm]I've been stumbling through
some [F#]dark places
[D]Now I'm following the[F#] plow
[Bm]I know I've fallen out of your[F#] good graces
[Am]It's alright now[D]

[Chorus 3]
And [Em]I've been waiting in the [G]weeds
Waiting for the [Am]summer rain to [C]fall upon the
[Em]Wild birds scattering the [G]seeds
Answering the [Am]calling
of the [C]tide's eternal [Em]tune
The phases of the [G]moon
The chambers of the [Am]heart
The egg and [C]dart of small gray
[Em]Spiders spinning in the [G]dark
In spite of all the [Am]times the web is [C]torn apart

[Chorus 4]
And [Em]I've been waiting in the [G]weeds
Waiting for my [Am]time to come a[C]round again and
[Em]Hope is floating on the [G]breeze
Carrying my [Am]soul high up
a[C]bove the ground and
[Em]I've been keeping to my[G]self
Knowing that the [Am]seasons are [C]slowly changing
[Em]Even though you're with somebody [G]else
He'll never love you [Am]like I [C]do
