[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.
