Capo on the 3rd fret.  Use all downstrokes. Strum only low strings on
 the beat and the full chord on the offbeat. On "Men will be boys..." strum 
evenly, then return to the regular pattern on "again". 
Listen to a recording for help. Enjoy!!!

Ive been waiting for you
     G

     G                        Cadd9
and last night felt kind of strange, my dear
G                        Cadd9
last night felt kind of strange
          G
all those blankets and sheets
       Cadd9                                 G     Cadd9
and those lies through your teeth that i fell through

    Em          C           Em                     C
and closing the doors never helped me close up the room
       Em          C
now im hosting the gathering 
             Em
when all the men will be boys 
        C                     G
and the girls sing the chorus again


    G                    Cadd9                               
and ive been writing your name, sweet pea
G                     Cadd9

       G                       Cadd9                             
on the hotel halls and all the bathroom stalls
        G

         Em              C

           Em                         C            
i saw your face from the candle light glow
       Em                      C                        G                
and my fingers forgot where to push in the knots of the wood

    Em           C            Em                       C                      
and closing the doors never helped me close up the room
       Em            C                      
now im hosting the gathering
             Em                        C                      G                        
when all the men will be boys and the girls sing the chorus again, again


(Strum Once)                                                            
     Em           C           Em                    C
and closing the doors never helped me close up the room
       Em          C                    
now im hosting the gathering
             Em                        C                    G
when all the men will be boys and the girls sing the chorus again.
                                                                              
    Em            C          Em                  C
and holding your hand never helped me forget the truth.
       Em           C                          
now im hoping your right this time,
                    
             Em                             
[and all the men will grow up
        C                        G
and the girls start to see a new day ] x2


            Em                         
but all the men will be boys
        C                      G         
and the girls sing the chorus again. 

End on G
