broken down and
hungry for your
love with
no
way to

Bridge
Sometimes a man gets
carried awa

feels like he should be having his
fun
And much too
blind to see the damage he's
done.
Sometimes a man must aw

To find that, really, he ha

Chorus 1
So I'll wait for yo

Will I ever see you

Oh, will I ever learn?
Oh,

come
over
,
'cause
it's not too
late
Mmm

Verse 2
Lonely is the
room, the bed is m
ade, the open
window

My body tu

VERSE STRUMMING PATTERN
- In [Verses], Jeff uses an embellished 3-beat pattern based around D or D/A,
and the Em variations.
- The D* or D/A* symbols are placed precisely at each repeat of this pattern.
- See the tab below or listen to it with the UG Strumming Pattern feature.
- Sometimes Jeff hammers-on the e-string (0h2) at beat 1.
- It is based on
D* or D/A* or Em9, etc
For everything else, you can use standard chords or the variations below;
see live performances for an idea of how Jeff likes to improvise.
