  			          D                              Cadd9     D 
Well I've been so wrong, brought lots of suffering on 
         G                            Cadd9      D 
And it's been so long, since I walked right and strong 
Cadd9            G                  D (once) 
Just look at me, so lost and weak 
N/C 
Heed my warning when this fool speaks 


Well I hate to see, your sun sinking down 
And the path you take, while you're losing ground 
There's precious time to chance your ways 
Don't drag along while it's gettin late 

      D                        G 
Don't wait (don't wait), don't wait 
       D                        G 
Don't wait (don't wait), it's a late 
      D                        G 
Don't wait (don't wait), don't wait 
      D           Cadd9       G            D 
Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait

Temptation will rust, causes withered form 
Eats away your trust, mean as a wild pack of dogs 
Uses you up, throws the old life away 
Don't let it win for another day

CHORUS 

Now I'm praying for strength, to get one last try 
From mercy's cup to drink, before it's time to die 
And all the whicked they best start to change their ways 
N/C                                            D (once) 
Don't drag along while it's gettin late 
N/C                                            D (once) 
Don't let it end for another day 
N/C 
Don't drag along while it's gettin late 


Throw in a Dsus2 or Dsus4 at your discretion.
