The Patient

[Intro]
Dm Am

[Verse 1]
  Dm
A groan of tedium escapes me
Startling the fearful
Is this a test?
It has to be
Otherwise, I can't go on
Draining patience, drain vitality
This paranoid,
                                 Am
paralyzed vampire act's a little old

[Verse 2]
Dm
  But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here
But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
                      Am
And I'm still right here

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am
Dm        Am
Wait it out
      Dm        Am
Gonna wait it out
Dm        Am
Wait it out
Dm Am Dm Am

[Chorus]
Am                 G        Dm
If there were no rewards to reap
   Am                G      Dm
No loving embrace to see me through
     Am                G      Dm
This tedious path I've chosen here
  Am                 G       Dm     Am
I certainly would've walked away by now

[Post-Chorus]
Gonna wait it out

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

[Break]
Am
  And I still may
I still may

[Bridge]
Dm
  Be patient
Be patient
   Am
Be patient
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this

[Chorus]
Am                 G        Dm  F
If there were no rewards to reap
   Am                G      Dm     F
No loving embrace to see me through
     Am                G      Dm  F
This tedious path I've chosen here
  Am                 G       Dm F
I certainly would've walked away

[Post-Chorus]
   Am G
By now
    Dm F      Am G
And I   still may
    Dm F      Am G
And I   still may
    Dm F      Am G
And I   still may
    Dm F
And I  am

[Outro]
Dm
  Gonna wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out.
