"A Saint's Complaint" - by John Gorka 2001 from the CD "The Company You Keep"

Capo on 3rd fret

G  Am  C  G (twice)

G                     Am
I never lived anywhere I didn't mind leaving

C                       G
I never knew anyplace I didn't want to go

G                  Am
Short on the give, long on receiving

C                     G        D       C     D       
I never knew anything I didn't want to know

G                  Am
I liked the towns, I liked the people

        C                      G
But the brown bugs in my bed I could've done without

G                         Am
I liked the taconite, the slate roofs and steeples

C                    G      D     C
A few crucial details of my whereabouts


CHORUS:
  C               G  
I don't think you  should hesitate

Am               C         D
Nothing comes to those who wait

C            G
Once I heard  a saint's complaint

        Am                  C    D      G    Am   C   D
He said good things come to those who ain't


So I move west to where your weather comes from
Or where your weather goes when it's done with you
I've got a place here, I've got a family
More to love, more to feel, more to do and more to lose

So I've got a taste of what I've been missing
There's hardly anywhere I really want to go
There's more to give, more room to breathe in
I hardly see anyone that I don't want to know

CHORUS
