I Can Wait

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
G G G

[Verse]
G
I remember way back when I was ten
G
Trying like hell to be my own man
Cadd9 G
Big shoes to fill and I ain’t filled them yet

G
Been chasing big dreams down the road for a while
G
I’m scuffed up and scarred but hey that’s life
Cadd9 D
Nothing worth having ever comes easy I guess

[Chorus]
Cadd9
But if it takes a little longer I sit on back
G
Got everything I need right where I’m at
D Cadd9 D
Long as I’m breathing and keep hitting my knees and pray-ay-ay-ay-ay

Cadd9
The good lord knows when life’s supposed to happen
G
Just gotta keep trying, gotta keep on laughing
D Cadd9
I know deep down gonna get where I’m going someday
G
But I can wait

[Verse]
G
I’ve sеttled on down, got kids of my own
G
The way they talk you’d swеar they’re grown
Cadd9 G
I hope they don’t grow up near as fast as they like

G
Yeah me and my baby we’re gonna get gray
G
The kids’ll move out and make their way
Cadd9 D
And that day will be here in the blink of an eye

[Chorus]
Cadd9
So if it takes a little longer I sit on back
G
Got everything I need right where I’m at
D Cadd9 D
Long as I’m breathing and keep hitting my knees and pray-ay-ay-ay-ay

Cadd9
The good lord knows when life’s supposed to happen
G
Just gotta keep trying, gotta keep on laughing
D Cadd9
I know deep down gonna get where I’m going someday
Em7 D Cadd9 D
But I can wa-aaaaaaaaaaaait

[Break]
G
I remember my daddy saying he couldn’t wait
G
To see me singing on that opry stage
Cadd9
Now it ain’t happened yet
D
But I know it will some day

[Chorus]
Cadd9
But if it takes a little longer I sit on back
G
Got everything I need right where I’m at
D Cadd9 D
Long as I’m breathing and keep hitting my knees and pray-ay-ay-ay-ay

Cadd9
The good lord knows when life’s supposed to happen
G
Just gotta keep trying, gotta keep on laughing
D Cadd9
I know deep down gonna get where I’m going someday

G G G
But I can wait
