D       Bm
Lady so black
               Em       A
Like a million cemetery lawns
D            Bm
I don't even try anymore
Em                  A
Keeping up with the headstones
D                           Bm        Em
Maybe I've been waiting too long, too long
    A           F#             Bm
For somebody to throw my kinda party
      Em            A
And I know, I'm too old


D        Bm
Stadiums cry
                 Em               A
Go on until your band gets back together
D                             Bm                          Em              A
Don't you think it's probably time you sit and write your fans an apology letter
D                             Bm        Em
Maybe you've been waiting too long, too long
    A           F#               Bm
For somebody to throw your kinda party
           Em              A         Bm
And you're old, you're too old



(Chorus)
          Em                 D       A
If you're waiting for an invitation
             F#          Bm
You're gonna wait a long time
            Em                D      A      Bm
Wait a long time, wait a long time

          Em                 D       A
If you're looking for an invitation
F#               Bm                     Em
It's never gonna come, it's never gonna come
                   D        A
You're never gonna get one


D           Bm                        Em            A
Lovers they try, they try to whip the stars into compliance
D                           Bm
Careful, don't you pull too hard
              Em                        A
Don't want to knock the planets out of alignment
D                             Bm        Em
Maybe you've been waiting too long, too long
    A           F#          Bm
For somebody to show to the party
           Em              A        Bm
And you're old, you're too old



(Chorus)
          Em                 D       A
If you're waiting for an invitation
             F#          Bm
You're gonna wait a long time
            Em                D      A      Bm
Wait a long time, wait a long time

          Em                 D       A
If you're looking for an invitation
F#               Bm                     Em
It's never gonna come, it's never gonna come
                   D        A               Bm
You're never gonna get one

          Em                 D       A
If you're waiting for an invitation
             F#          Bm
You're gonna wait a long time
            Em                D                 A             
     F#          Bm                Em                D
Wait a long time, wait a long time, wait a long time, you're gonna wait a long time, 
wait a long time, wait a long time,... (fade)
