Chords for Steve Azar - Waitin' On Joe (Revised Version)

[N] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ I don't know about anywhere else, but I [A#m] reckon right here in the [A] Delta, a man spends about
70 [G#]% of his time [F#] just waiting. _ _ _ _
_ Waiting on somebody, _ waiting on something. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A#] Yeah, that's something in our life that we've been working on, [G#m] sweating for, _ _ _ [B] chasing that elusive dream.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ Most of us will keep [A#] waiting until our time here [A#m] is over.
_ [A] _ _ [F#] _ Why? _ _
_ Because it matters.
[G] _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ Sometimes [G#] I wonder what we're really waiting on is [F#] ourselves.
_ _ _ [C#]
Maybe there's a whole lot of joke deep down inside each and every [F#] one of us.
We focus [Gm] so much on what we're waiting for that we miss [F#] or forget [G#] to appreciate [F#] what we got. _
_ _ _ Truth is, _ [A#] it'll always be something we need or want, [Gm] something we feel we have to [F#] have,
_ _ _ _ yearning, something missing.
_ We could wonder how long it's going [C#] to take or [G#] how much must [F#] one endure. _
[G#] Or we could wonder, are we just wasting [F#] our lives _ waiting on Joe? _ _ _ _

[C#m] A week's pace as he's still at [B] home, [E] cause the boy's in his own [F#] time _ zone.
I'm waiting [B] on Joe, _ _
[G#m] what do you [F#] know?

[G#m] _ _ _ _
[E] Once that whistle [F#] blows, _ [G#m] down the mighty [F#] river [E] it'll roll. _ _
_ Man, if I could be more [B] like that, [E] I'd get on with my life [F#] and never look back.
Instead of waiting [B] on Joe, _ _
[G#m] what do [F#] you know?
_ [E] Time flies fast [C#] and he is [B] slower than I.

cause he's running bad.
[A#m] Now I'm not one [D#] to worry, but I've [E] got a real bad [F#] feeling this _ time. _
[G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ Cause sirens [B] are crying all through this town.
[A#m] _ _
[G#m] _ _ [F#] _ [E] And _ _ [F#] one old boy said, hey [B] Joe, never [A#m] slow down.
[G#m] _ _ [F#] He [E] tried to beat that morning [F#] train.
_ My [G#m] life will never [F#] be [E] the same.
