PATIENTLY WAITING (Gillian Welch)

as performed by Kathy Mattea

on "LOVE TRAVELS" (Mercury 314-532 899-2)

VERSE 1:

A D E

Well nothing new has passed this way in a long time

A D E

Maybe nothing's ever gonna come

A D E

And nothing seems to grow outside my window

A D E

I think I'd better go and get me some

CHORUS:

D E

Well I want to get some of the gold in the hills

A D

That's making people nervous

D E

You know they get scared of the cold and the chill

A D

Start praying God preserve us

E

I can't believe how long I've stayed

E

Two more days till I get paid

E

And I'll find that small town boy I'm dating

D E A D E

Tell him I'm done patiently waiting

A D E

I'm done patiently waiting

VERSE 2

I've had fun just holding hands at the movie show

And I've had good times tearing up the town

But I've spent cold nights waiting out front of the movie show

Thinking half the hands that held me, held me down

CHORUS

VERSE 3

Some folks never get their share of the sweet life

Some just come around a little late

I got this feeling sitting at a stoplight

Seems like good things only come to those who hit the road

When they know what they want

CHORUS
