[Verse 1]
[G]this is the ballad
of drinking rye whiskey
[C]and sleeping till 2 on a warm afternoon
[G]telling your journal how badly you miss me
[D]and you can't believe I'll
be com[C]ing so [G]soon
this is the ballad of anticipation
[C]waiting and waiting and waiting and then
[G]finally getting the one
you've been wanting
[D]and guess what it's time
to start [C]waiting [G]again
[D]

[Verse 2]
this is the ballad we [C]all must sing

[C]morrow will [G]bring
[D][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]this is the ballad of long conversations
[C]heavy with silence
and shuddering breaths
[G]you're self destructing your
voice is all shaken
[D]my reservations are[C] all I h[G]ave left
this is the ballad of trying to grow flowers
so [C]life will seem like it has
meaning and stuff
[G]finding out all of those beautiful flowers
will [D]never be anywhere close [C]to [G]enough

[G]this is the ballad of drinking rye whiskey
dis[C]tilled in a barn that burned
down around it

I should be thinking
[D]your figure is flawless
I'm [C]so glad I [G]found it

[Verse 6]
[D]this is the ballad we [C]all must sing
while [G]we wait to find [D]out what
to[C]morrow will [G]bring

will [G]bring
