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 
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
[Estribillo]
   Em                         G 
And I've been waiting in the weeds 
               Am             C 
Waiting for my time to come around again and 
Em                         G 
Hope is floating on the breeze 
             Am            C 
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and 
Em                     G 
I've been keepin' to myself  Knowin' 
            Am         C 
that the seasons are slowly changing 
Em                                G 
Even though you're with somebody else 
                      Am            C 
He'll never love you like I do
[Estrofa]
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
[Estribillo]
Em                             G 
And I've been waiting in the weeds 
                 Am            C 
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the 
Em                               G 
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 
                       Bm 
You're swinging on the top 
            F# 
Suspended there with him 
    G                       D 
And he's the darling of the sheik 
                   Bm       F# 
The flavor of the week is melting 
G                        D 
Down your pretty summer dress 
               F# 
Baby, what a mess you're making

[Estrofa]
Bm                               A#aug 
I've been stumbling through some dark places 
D                     A#aug 
Now I'm following the plow 
Bm                             A#aug 
I know I've fallen out of your good graces 
Am            D 
It's alright now  
Em                            G 
And I've been waiting in the weeds 
                  Am           C 
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the 
Em                          G 
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 ebb and dart of small gray 
  Em                     G 
Spiders spinning in the dark 
                      Am             C 
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart 
   Em                        G 
And I've been waiting in the weeds 
                 Am           C 
Waiting for the time to come around again and 
  Em                      G 
Hope is floating on the breeze 
             Am           C 
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and 
  Em                   G 
I've been keeping to myself 
                  Am          C 
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing 
  Em                             G 
Even though you're with somebody else 
                      Am     C 
He'll never love you like I do
