The Patient

  D        Em         D 
A groan of tedium escapes me 
Em             D        Em D 
Startling the fearful 
          Em    D     Em      D 
Is this a test?   It has to be 
Em            D       C 
Otherwise I can't go on 
G        C         G       C 
Draining patience, drain vitality 
     G         C         G       D               Em 
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old 
  
 
F              G 
But I'm still right here 
        A              A 
Giving blood, keeping faith 
                      F    G    A 
And I'm still right here 
F                 G 
But I'm still right here 
        A              A 
Giving blood, keeping faith 
A        F           G      A 
And I'm still right here

F           G   A 
Wait it out -t -t. 
          F           G  A 
Going to wait it out -t -t. 
    F    G   A      F        G    A 
Be patient         (wait it out) 
  

G                 D 
If there were no rewards to reap 
   A                 G 
No loving embrace to see me through 
      D                  A 
This tedious path I've chosen here 
  G                   D       A  G   A  G 
I certainly would've walked away -   by now 
F                  G       A 
I'm gonna wait it out 
  

G                  D 
If there were no desire to heal 
    A                 G 
The damaged and broken met along 
      D                  A 
This tedious path I've chosen here 
 G                    D       A G   D  A 
I certainly would've walked away    by now 
  
  

      G       D       A        G 
and I still may. And I still may 
  
    D      A G 
Be patient           (x4) 
  
  D                      A           G 
I must keep reminding myself of this...   (X5)

still may. And I.
