Tom: C

INTRO:  C   Am   F   C   G (2x) 
 
      C             Am            F                   C          G 
Well, Josie walks around like she bought herself some brand new clothes 
C             Am    F                C        G 
Singing to herself, swinging for the sidewalk Joes 
          Dm             Em    Dm               F      G 
She got a cousin down in Reno, says the money's coming fast 
         Dm            Em       Dm                  F     G      F
So she's packing it up, but her momma says it ain't gonna last 


CHORUS:
        Dm7 C 
Wait it out, wait it out 
F                          C 
So tired of hearing that I gotta slow down 
Am                           G 
I ain't gonna listen to them tell me how 
  F   N.C.                             C   Am  F  C  G 
I just got to burning and I won't stop now

 
          C           Am          F          C       G 
Well, the late-night, broken-down army ain't got no wheels 
        C             Am  F            C         G 
Billy's leaning on an Eldorado just to see how it feels 
             Dm           Em       Dm         F         G 
He's got his hands in his pockets, jangling a dollar in change 
Dm              Em             Dm        F         G    F
Leaving just as soon as he can get a job down in L.A. 
 
 
CHORUS:
        Dm7 C 
Wait it out, wait it out 
F                          C 
So tired of hearing that I gotta slow down 
Am                           G 
I ain't gonna listen to them tell me how 
  F   N.C.                             C   Am  F  C  G 
I just got to burning and I won't stop now


INTERLUDE: C   Am   F   Em 
 

BRIDGE:
     F                Em 
Your love's not sure
     Am                Em 
Your heart needs time 
     F           
Take all you want
    G 
But don't take mine 
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL: F   C   F   C   Am   G   F 
 
 
CHORUS:
N.C.        C 
Wait it out, we'll wait it out 
F                          C 
So tired of hearing that I gotta slow down 
Am                           G 
I ain't gonna listen to them tell me how 
  F   N.C.                             F
I just got to burning and I won't stop


CHORUS:
        Dm7 C 
Wait it out, wait it out 
F                          C 
So tired of hearing that I gotta slow down 
Am                           G 
I ain't gonna listen to them tell me how 
  F   N.C.                             C   Am  F  C  G 
I just got to burning and I won't stop now
