This Is The Ballad

G
This is the ballad drinking rye whiskey
    C
And sleeping till 2 on a warm afternoon
G
Telling your journal how badly you miss me
    D                         C         G
And you can't believe I'll be coming so soon
G
This is the ballad of anticipation
C
Waiting and waiting and waiting and then
G
Finally getting the one you've been wanting
    D                              C         G
And guess what, it's time to start waiting again

D                     C
This is the ballad we all must sing
         G            D          C           G
While we wait to find out what tomorrow will bring

G
This is the ballad of long conversations
C
Heavy with silence and shuddering breath
G
Your self-destruct in your voice all shaken
D                   C          G
My reservations are all I have left
G
This is the ballad of trying to grow flowers
   C
So life will seem like it has meaning and stuff
G
Finding out all of those beautiful flowers
     D                 C         G
Will never be anywhere close to enough

D                     C
This is the ballad we all must sing
         G            D          C           G
While we wait to find out what tomorrow will bring
G            D          C           G
Wait to find out what tomorrow will bring

G
This is the ballad of drinking rye whiskey
   C
Distilled in a barn that burned down around it
G
Find myself saying what I should be thinking
     D                      C         G
Your figure is flawless I'm so glad I found it
