[Verse]
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


[Verse]
             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


[Chorus]
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
               Am            C
Waiting for my time to come around again
    Em                      G
And hope is floating on the breeze
            Am            C
Carrying my soul high up above the ground
    Em                     G
And I've been keepin' to myself
                 Am           C              Em
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing you
                                G
And though you're with somebody else
                     Am          C
He'll never love you like I do


[Verse]
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


[Chorus]
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
                Am             C
Waiting for the dust to settle down
          Em                             G
Along the 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


[Chorus - key change]
                       Bm
You're swinging on the top
          F#
Suspended there with him
    G                       D
And he's the darling of the chic
                  Bm      F#
The flavor of the week is melting
G                       D
Down your pretty summer dress
             F#
Baby, what a mess you're making


[Solo]
Bm  A#  D  A#  2x


[Bridge]
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


[Chorus]
Em                           G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
                Am             C
Waiting for the summer rain to fall
         Em                        G
Upon the 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 egg and dart
              Em                    G
A small gray spider spinning in the dark
                    Am               C
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart


[Chorus]
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
                Am            C
Waiting for the time to come around again
    Em                      G
And hope is floating on the breeze
            Am            C
Carrying my soul high up above the ground
    Em                   G
And I've been keepin' to myself
                 Am           C              Em
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing you
                                G
And though you're with somebody else
                     Am      G
He'll never love you like I do


[Outro]
Em  G  Am  C  2x
Em  G  Am  C  4x
Ohhh   Ahhh
Em  G  Am  C  2x
Em~
