Intro:   A5  F#5

        A5        F#5        A5         F#5
I got a long road, some old photographs
         A5     F#5             A5
I got my bourbon, blues on the phonograph
      D5                G5       D5           E5
I got stars in my eyes, and it comes as no surprise
D5                  A5     D5  A5  D5
I got a pain in my heart


CHORUS:
       A5          D5 A5          D5 A5          D5      A5        (notes: A5 B5 C5 C#5 )
I said good things, good things, good things, real good things
D5                                   B5  E5              F#5
Good things come to those who wait, do-on't - don't be late
   D5   E5        A5     F#5  A5  F#5
Oh no, don't be late.


        A5    F#5       A5    F#5
I got a woman    on my mind
             A5  F#5              A5
That's a memory     so sweet and kind
D5                    G5         D5                E5
I just couldn't stay, and that gal she couldn't wait
D5                 A5    D5  A5  D5
I got tears in my eyes

[repeat CHORUS]

B5                 A5
I want you to understand
B5                    F#5
Come and take me as I am
B5             C#5
Take a sad old song
F#5                      E5
And make it feel like it belongs, it belongs

[instrumental verse x2]

[repeat first verse]

[repeat CHORUS]

        A5       F#5       A5     F#5   (repeat these chords until end)
I got a telephone   in my heart
When times get rough, I call her up
I got a bluebird in a tree
Singin' me a sweet melody
And I got sunshine, but I don't care
'Cause there's a feeling leading me there
Right on time, right on time...
