They're Cwaking up Maria because everybody else has got someplace to go She Cmakes a little motion with her head, rolls over, says she's gonna sleep for a couple minutes more I said I'm soFrry to Maria for the cold-hearted thing that I have done C I've said I'm sorry Amby now, at least onceDm, to just about evCeryone
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She says, I have forgotG/Bten what I'm supposed to do today F/A It slips my mindG what I'm supposed to say F We're getting olAmder and older and older and older And always a little furGther out of the way F
[Chorus 1]
You look inCto her eyes and it's more than your heart will allow C G/B In AuGgust and everything after,F you get a little less than you expected somCehow
[Verse 2]
Well I stumbled Cinto Washington Square, just as the sun began to rise And I walked Cacross the lawn to the cathedral and I lay down, in the shadow of St. Mary's in the sky I'm just one of Fthese late-model children waiting for the king C There ain't Amno sign of Elvis in San FranciscoDm, it's just me, and I'm playCin' this rock and roll thing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And she wants G/Bto be just like me F/A And I want every Gdamn thing that I can see F You know one dayAm, you're daddy's little angel The next day you're eveGrything he wanted you to be F
[Chorus 2]
They dress you Cup in white satin and they give you your very own pair of wings C G/B In AuGgust and everything after,F I'm after everyCthing G/B F/A G F C F G
[Verse 3]
Well I got my Creservations and I got my seven million dollar home I got, I got the Cnumber of some girl in North Dakota
Who's always wide awake so I never have to spend the night alone
I got this nasFty little habit of peeking down the shirts of all the little girlsC as they pass me by And I know you wonderAm, when it all catches up to me Dm And they finally bring me down,C do you think I'm gonna cry?
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Well listen, I alG/Bready got my disease F/A So get your fucking Gfilthy hands off of me F I hope Amyou weren't expecting me to be crucified The best that they can do is just to hang Gme from the nearest tree F
[Chorus 3]
Yeah it's midnight Cin San Francisco and I am waiting here for Jesus on my knees C G/B In AuGgust and everything after,F I need somebody else to bDmleed fCor mGe, yeFah In AuGgust and everything after,F I need somebody else to blCeed for me F C G F C
[Verse 4]
Well I came down Cfrom San Francisco because I had confidence in a military mind But now everyone CI know is turning showgirl and dancin' with their shirt off in some Las Vegas hotel line So I'm goin' Fto New York City 'cause it got a little sleazy here Cfor me And when I find mAmyself alone, you know I'm nevDmer goin’ home You make the changes,C the changes that you need
[Pre-Chorus 4]
But I noG/B longer know how to pray F/A I live in dogtownG and it's a Dalmatian parade F I changed Ammy spots over and over But they never seem to fa-Gee-a-ee-ade away F
[Chorus 4]
I am the last reCmaining Indian lookin' for the place where the buffalo roam C G/B In AuGgust and everything after,F man them buffalo ain'tDm never coCmin' hoGme, nAmo In AuGgust and everything after,F man them buffalo ain'tDm, they ain't neCver comin' hoGme, nAmo In AuGgust and everything after,F man them buffalo ain't never Ccomin' home
