B7 F#7
Better bid adieu before it's too late, baby
C#7 B7 F#7
They say the longer you wait, the tighter shut is the gate
We got nothing much in common, but it's just as well
Never intertwined, we was just parallel
We just didn't gel, let's dissipate, baby
They say the longer you wait, the tighter shut is the gate
B7 F#7
Well, now I just wanted peace and quiet, I stayed out of trouble
B7 F#7
Everytime I bit my tongue my heartache doubled
B7 F#7

C#7 B7 F#7
I can't find a reason now to keep this thing muzzled
Well, now my resolve's been waiting for several years straight
It's not that I won't miss you, but I just can't wait
To celebrate, and I go wandering, baby
They say the longer you wait, the tighter shut is the gate
They say the longer you wait, the tighter shut is the gate
