Lyrics

The o do sia (Bm)writes me a let ter ev ’ry (F#m)day.

I’m keep ing her bed (Bm)warm while her hus band is a (F#m)way.

He’s on the Brit ish side in (Bm)Geor gia.

He’s (F#m)tryin’ to keep the col o nies in line.

He can keep all of (Bm)Geor gia.

The o (CN.C.)do sia, she’s mine.

Love does n’t dis crim i nate be tween the sin ners and the (Asus)saints, it takes and it takes and it takes and we keep lov ing an y way.

We laugh and we (G)cry and we break and we make our mis takes.

And if there’s a rea son I’m by her side when so man y have tried then I’m will ing to (Bm)wait for it.

(D)I’m will ing to (G)wait for it.

(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.) My grand fa ther was a (Bm)fire and brim stone (F#m)preach er.

(Preach er, preach er, preach er.) But there are things that the (Bm)hom i lies and hymns won’t (F#m)teach ya.

(Teach ya, teach ya, teach ya.) My moth er was a (Bm)gen ius, my (F#m)fa ther com mand ed re spect.

(Re spect, re (D)spect.) When they died they (Bm)left no in struc tions.

Just a leg a cy to pro tect.

Death does n’t dis crim i nate be tween the sin ners and the (Asus)saints, it takes, and it takes, and it takes, and we keep liv ing an y way.

We rise and we (G)fall and we break and we make our mis takes.

And if there’s a rea son I’m still a live when ev ’ry one who loves me has died, I’m will ing to (Bm)wait for it.

(D)I’m will ing to (CN.C.)wait for it.

Life does n’t dis crim i nate be tween the sin ners and the (Asus)saints, it takes and it takes and it takes and we keep lov ing an y way.

We rise and we (G)fall and we break and we make our mis takes.

And if there’s a rea son I’m still a live when so man y have died, then I’m will ing to...

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Wait (D)for it...

Wait (Bm)for it...

Wait for it...

Wait (F#m)for it...

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Wait for it...
