G Em It's comin' on the end of August G Em Another summer's promise almost gone C And though I heard some wise man say G That every dog will have his day F Am D He never mentioned that these dog days get so long G Em I don't know when I realized the dream was over G Em Well, there was no particular hour, no given day C You know, it didn't go down in flame G There was no final scene, no frozen frame F Am D I just watched it slowly fade away Em G And I've been waiting in the weeds Am C Waiting for my time to come around again and Em G Hope is floating on the breeze Am C Carrying my soul high up above the ground and Em G I've been keepin' to myself Knowin' Am C that the seasons are slowly changing Em G Even though you're with somebody else Am C He'll never love you like I do G Em I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows G Em While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage C G If finding love is just a dance Proximity and chance F Am D You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade Em G And I've been waiting in the weeds Am C Waiting for the dust to settle down along the Em G Back roads running through the fields Am C Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town Em G And I imagine sunlight in your hair Am You're at the county fair C You're holding hands and laughing Em G And now the ferris wheel has stopped Bm You're swinging on the top F# Suspended there with him G D And he's the darling of the sheik Bm F# The flavor of the week is melting G D Down your pretty summer dress F# Baby, what a mess you're making Bm A#+ D A#+ Bm A#+ I've been stumbling through some dark places D A#+ Now I'm following the plow Bm A#+ I know I've fallen out of your good graces Am D It's alright now Em G And I've been waiting in the weeds Am C Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the Em G Wild birds scattering the seeds Am C Em Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune G The phases of the moon Am The chambers of the heart C The ebb and dart of small gray Em G Spiders spinning in the dark Am C In spite of all the times the web is torn apart Em G And I've been waiting in the weeds Am C Waiting for the time to come around again and Em G Hope is floating on the breeze Am C Carrying my soul high up above the ground and Em G I've been keeping to myself Am C Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing Em G Even though you're with somebody else Am C He'll never love you like I do Em G Am C
