[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
G                             Em
  It's comin' on the end of August
 G                                  Em
Another summer's promise is almost gone
             C
And though I heard some wise man say
           G
That every dog will have his day
         F                                    Am    D
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
 
[Verse 2]
             G                              Em
I don't know when I realized the dream was over
                G                            Em
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
             C
You know, it didn't go down in flame
             G
There was no final scene, no frozen frame
F                              Am    D
I just watched it slowly fade away
 
[Chorus]
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
               Am            C
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Em                      G
Hope is floating on the breeze
            Am            C
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
Em                     G
I've been keepin' to myself
                 Am          C
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing
Em                               G
Even though you're with somebody else
                     Am        C
He'll never love you like I do
 
[Verse 3]
G                                           Em
  I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows
      G                                   Em
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
           C
If finding love is just a dance
  G
Proximity and chance
           F                           Am    D
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade
 
[Chorus]
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
                Am             C
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the
Em                             G
Back roads running through the fields
             Am                C
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town
       Em                      G
And I imagine sunlight in your hair
                     Am
You're at the county fair
               C
You're holding hands and laughing
    Em                       G
And now the ferris wheel has stopped
                       Bm
You're swinging on the top
          F#
Suspended there with him
    G                       D
And he's the darling of the chic
                  Bm      F#
The flavor of the week is melting
G                       D
Down your pretty summer dress
             F#
Baby, what a mess you're making
 
[Instrumental]
Bm   A#aug   D   A#aug   x2
 
[Bridge]
Bm                                  A#aug
   I've been stumbling through some dark places
D                      A#aug
  Now I'm following the plow
Bm                           A#aug
   I know I've fallen out of your good graces
Am              D
   It's alright now
 
[Chorus]
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
                Am             C
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
Em                        G
Wild birds scattering the seeds
              Am             C              Em
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune
                  G
The phases of the moon
                    Am
The chambers of the heart
            C
The ebb and dart of small gray
Em                      G
Spiders spinning in the dark
                    Am               C
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
 
    Em                       G
And I've been waiting in the weeds
                Am            C
Waiting for the time to come around again and
Em                      G
Hope is floating on the breeze
            Am            C
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
Em                     G
I've been keeping to myself
                 Am          C
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing
Em                               G
Even though you're with somebody else
                     Am       C
He'll never love you like I do

Nicely done, one of my favourites off Long Road Out Of Eden, something about it, especially when the chorus hits with perfect harmony. Sounds perfect.
