[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 of bed 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.
