VERSE:
G                D
It careened and crashed
 Em               D
while the others waved
 G                     D
And you waited in the sun so
              Em           D
long when you only wanted shade
 G               D
Let the old men laugh,
Em               D
let the old men say
 G                    D
That I've never done nothing
            Em            D
that wasn't out of love, baby
 G                       D
Now the weight that you carry seems
 Em           D
such a heavy load while you're

Remember standing in the light

Remember crawling all thе way
 G                  D
You paraded in the nighttime
       Em        D
for a clеan getaway
 G                        D
You were standing in the water,
         Em          D
but only up to your knees
 G                     D
But you know a strong current could
        Em                 D
always sweep you off your feet
 G                        D
You were waiting for the right time
              Em      D
But it could take so long
while you're
