[Verse 1]
G
Slip back out of whack at your best
Bm
It's a nightmare
Em C
So I'm joining the army
G
No house phones but, but can I still call?
Bm
Will you wait for me now?
[Bridge]
Am
We got the right to live, fight to use it
C
Got everything but you can just choose it
G
I won't just be a puppet on a string
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Don't go that way
Em C G D
I'll wait for you
Em
And I'm tired of all your friends
C
Listening at your door
G D
I want what's better for you
[Refrain]
Em C G D
So long my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you
[Instrumental]
G G G G Am Am Am Am
[Verse 2]
G
Get dressed jump out into a vest
Bm
Are you ok?
Em
I've been out around this town
C G
Everybody's singing the same song for ten years
[Chorus]
Em C G D
I'll wait for you
Em C G D
Will you wait for me too?
Em
And they sacrifice their lives
C
And they lied about those odds
G
They've said it a billion times
D
And they'll say it again.
[Refrain]
Em C G D
So long, my adversary and friend.
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Don't go that way
Em C G D
I'll wait for you
Em
I'm tired of all your friends
C
Banging down your door
G D
Get up in the morning, yelling no more
[Outro]
Em C G D
So long my friend and adversary
G G
I'll wait for you.
