A Saints Complaint

INTRO: G  Am  C  G     Am  C  G

                       Am
I never lived anywhere
                      C
I didn't mind leaving

I never knew anyplace
  G
I didn't want to go
                    Am
Short on the giving
                  C
Long on receiving
                      G
I never knew anything
         D       C      G
I didn't want to know


                   Am
I liked the towns

I liked the people
        C
But the brown bugs in my bed
  G
I could have done without
                     Am
I liked the taconite
                         C
Slate roofs and steeples
                    G
A few crucial details
Continues after the ad
    D       C
Of my whereabouts


CHORUS:
               G                Am
Don't think you should hesitate
             C             D     C
Nothing comes to those who wait
            G                      
Once I heard a saint's complaint, 
       Am
he said
                     C    D  
"Good things come to those who 
  G       Am
ain't"
     C
"Who ain't"


INTERLUDE: D  G  Am  C  D  G


                 Am
So I moved west
                                  C
To where your weather comes from

Or where your weather goes
G
When it's done with you
                       Am
I've got a place here

I've got a family
        C                          
More to love, more to feel, more to
 G
 do
    D       C        D G
And more to lose


                      Am
So, I've got a taste
                           C
Of what I've been missing

There's hardly anywhere
  G
I really want to go
                     Am
There's more to give
                        C
More room to breath in
                    G
I hardly see anyone
             D       C        G 
That I don't want to know
C   D C



CHORUS:
               G                 Am
Don't think you should hesitate
             C             D     C
Nothing comes to those who wait
            G                      
Once I heard a saint's complaint, 
      Am
he said
                     C    D  
"Good things come to those who 
  G        Am   C   D   C
ain't"
               G                Am
Don't think you should hesitate
