(verse 1)
G C D
Well nothin' new has passed this way in a long time,
G C D
Maybe nothin's ever gonna come,
G C D
And nothin' seems to grow outside my window,
G C D
I think I'd better go and get me some,
C D
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills,
G C
That's makin' people nervous,
D
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill,
G C
Start prayin' God preserve us,
D
I can't believe how long I've stayed,
D
Two more days till I get paid,
D
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin,
C D
Tell him I'm done patiently waiting,
G C D D G - C - D
Hey, yeah Patiently waitin,

G C D
Well I've had fun just holding hands at the movie show,
G C D
And I've had good times tearing up the town,
G C D
But I've spent cold nights waitin' out front of the movie show,
G C D
Thinking that half the hands that held me, held me down,
(chorus)
C D
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills,
G C
That's makin' people nervous,
D
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill,
G C
Start prayin' God preserve us,
D
I can't believe how long I've stayed,
D
Two more days till I get paid,
D
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin,
C D
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin,

G C D
Some folks never get their share of the sweet life,
G C D
Some just come around a little late,
G C D
Oh, and I got this feeling sitting at a stop light,
G C
Seems like good things only come to those who,
D
Hit the road when they know what they want,
(chorus)
