A G D

[verse 1]

It’s three in the morning I can’t get to sleep
D                                              G      D
I know I’m in trouble, I’m in trouble deep, oh no, oh no
D
The bank has a taken the Chevy away
D                                                    G           D
It’s the only thing left around here anyway, except you, except you
   A           G               F#m        Em             D
I can’t understand all of the things that I’ve put you through

[verse 2]
D
I hear a noise but it aint your car
D                                                G        D
You don’t complain bout that job at the bar, anymore, anymore
D
You gave a vow to stay by my side
D                                              G      D
We were fourteen when I made you my bride, forever, Amen
   A           G            F#m        Em    D
Don’t you know babe I would do it all over again

[chorus]
Em            A     Em                                A
Good patient woman, you won’t have to wait for me anymore

[verse 3]
D
Lookin’ at pictures of you on the wall
D                                               G            D
Cutting the cake we were having a ball that Sunday, way back when
D
We never had children as hard as we tried
D                                  G                    D
Lately at night I hear you crying softly, alone in the dark
   A           G            F#m        Em          D
Dreaming of laughing and playing with kids in the park

[chorus]
Em            A     Em                                A
Good patient woman, you won’t have to wait for me anymore

The sun is arising I’m cleaning my gun

This nightmare aint over I hope you had fun, oh Darlin my sweet little one
D
Nothing’s forever but I’ve got my doubts
D                                                G             D
I’m going upstairs I’m going to find out what’s waiting for me now
   A        G          F#m         Em    D
Baby don’t miss me I’s no good for you anyhow
