  28 I can't wait

  32 It's late

  36 Well it's way past midnight
  37
  38 And there's some people all around

  40 Some on their way up
  41
  42 Some on their way down
  43 Em                               A

  46 And I don't know how much longer I can wait
  47
  48 I'm your man
  49 I've tried to recover the sweet love that we knew
  50 You understand
  51 That my heart can't go on beating without you
  52 Well your loveliness has wounded me
  53 I'm reeling from the blow
  54 I wish I knew what it was that keeps me loving you so
  55 I'm breathin' hard standin' at the gate
  56 And I don't know how much longer I can wait
  57
  58 Skies are gray
  59 I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow
  60 Night or day
  61 It doesn't matter where I go anymore I just go 1)
  62 If I ever saw you comin' I don't know what I might do
  63 I'd like to think I could control myself
  64 But it isn't true
  65 That's how it is
  66 When things disintegrate
  67 And I don't know how much longer I can wait

  83 It's mighty funny
  84 The end of time has just begun
  85 Oh honey, after all these years you're still the one
  86 Well I'm strollin' through the lonely graveyard of my mind
  87 I left my life with you
  88 Somewhere back there along the line
  89 I thought somehow that I would be spared this day

  95 <p>1) <em>From Josh Meisler:</em></p>
  96
  97 <p>The lyric &ldquo;<em>night or day, it doesn't matter anymore where I go,
  98 I just go</em>&rdquo; is conspicuously similar to a lyric in the Grateful Dead
  99 tune 'Crazy Fingers' which goes &ldquo;<em>gone are the days we stopped
 100 to decide where we should go, we just ride</em>&rdquo;, by Robert
 101 Hunter. Somewhat similar in construction and definitely in content.</p>

 107 <p>The main changes are in the pace and the mood of the playing, not
 108 really much in the arrangement. <br />
 109 B7add11=x21200. Or play B7-10 (x21230)</p>
