LONGTIME - by Patrick Spencer

Intro
G D Am C (C7)

G D Am
I hypnotize myself with the only thing you could be thinking, I lay awake in the
C
middle of the night
You are the rain descending on my ship as it is sinking, hell-bound on sweeping me entirely out of sight
But isn’t that ridiculous and why would you do such a thing, you’ve never been that way to me before
This just seams to be a pattern I subconsciously slip into, it doesn’t do me any good and I don’t know what I do it for.

C D
But for a longtime I’ve realized, this is all a waste of time
G C
There’s nothing else for me to do
C D
It could be a longtime before I lie down beside
G C
Another girl who looks at me the way you do.

(Intrumental)
G D Am C
G D Am C (C7)

I always have a plan to put me through our next encounter, such a clever way to finally close the case,
But then you walk around the corner and I have to start all over because everything I’ve figure out is scattered by your face
And it drives me fucking crazy all these games I have to play, I will not make believe or fake it as your friend
Because if I ever told you all the time I think about that afternoon, you’d never speak to me again

But for a longtime I’ve realized, this is all a waste of time
There’s nothing else for me to do
It could be a longtime before I lie down beside
Another girl who looks at me the way you do.
For a longtime I’ve realized, this is all a waste of time
There’s nothing else for me to do
It could be a longtime before I ever understand
Why I don’t deserve what I could have with you.

I hypnotize myself with the only thing you could be thinking, I lay awake in the middle of the night

Their style reaches across Folk, Americana, Rock, and Country; like Don McLean sitting in with the Lumineers. Coldwater Road is a five-piece folk/rock group with rich harmonies and driving rhythm. ... more
