G5    C5     A5    E5 D5 x 3

G5               C5                 A5
  Uh, it was a long long crucial winter,
             E5   D5
  for us to carry on,
G5            C5        A5
  it was a long long brutal summer,
         E5    D5
  for a fever won

              C5                    D5
  When every beat on your drum is wasted
             C5                         D5
  and every song that you sing is too late
             C5            B5
  and every word is a hesitation,
            G5
  feel no shame

                   C5                           A5       E5    D5       
  For you have achieved more than you have forsaken,      oh yeah
G5             C5                          A5          E5        D5
  and you believed that it took you to glaces,         that's said

  
              C5                    D5
  When every beat on your drum is wasted
             C5                         D5
  and every song that you sing is too late
             C5            B5
  and every word is a hesitation,
              E5
  you did it great
       G5      C5    A5 
  uuh uh  ah aah   ah    you did it great   

G5      C5      A5      E5 D5 x 2

         C5                    D5
  Every beat on your drum is wasted
             C5                         D5
  and every song that you sing is too late

G5        C5                    A5     E5    D5
  Every beat on your drum is wasted,  no shame

G5      C5      A5      E5 D5 x 4   (solo)

         G5                    C5
  Every beat on your drum is wasted          
             A5                          E5 D5   
  and every song that you sing is the same   
             G5             C5
  and every word is a hesitation,
           A5                E5 D5
  oh, you did it again and again

Repeat one more time, and then the song ends after five more chords.
