A       E      A
Waiting to get beat
     A        E      A
On a dark and lonely street
D        E      
Pay time ’round,
A        D   
pay back down
A       E      A
Waiting to get beat

Waiting to get beat
Waiting like a piece of meat
The mumble is on,
the thrill is gone
Waiting to get beat

Bm
You’re playin’ around with daddy, baby
A
When you should have quit
Bm
Nobody messes up one of these boys
    C#m           E7
And get away with it

Waiting to get beat
Can’t sleep, can’t eat

A7
You ain't so good in arithmetic, baby

You don't know how to count

When it comes to spending money

It's never the right amount
E7
But baby, you know two and two is four
D7
Baby, that'll be the day
       A     D     A             E        A    D  A
But in love, crazy love, you get straight A's.

In history, you don’t do too well 
You don’t know how to read 
You could confuse Geronimo 
With Johnny Appleseed 
And if you don’t know who Thomas Edison is, 
Well, baby, that’s OK, 
But in love, crazy love, you get straight A’s 

Am
 Why should you have to 
Dm7
 be so frantic?
Am
 You always wanted to 
E7
 live in the past.
Am
 Now, why you should 
Dm7
 be so Atlantic
Am
 You finally got your
E7
 wish at last
Dm7
 You used to be 
Am
 oh so modest
Dm7
 With your arm around your
E7
 cigarette machine
Dm7
 Now you lost it all, I see, and
Am
 all you got is
     Am                        
your two-dollar bill and your hat full of
E7   Am
 gasoline.

Well you didn't know [... showed] and you
[...] come
After all, things could 
be much worse

I'm going down south, beneath the borderline

I'm going down south, beneath the borderline
G                                 C
Come, Fat Mama, kiss my mouth one time.

Well, I knew it this morning, without a shadow of doubt
Well, I knew it this morning, without a shadow of doubt
My suitcase was packed, my clothes were hanging out 

San Francisco is fine, you sure get lots of sun

[Spoken:] - ... five two, eight-oh, get the name later.

Dylan: No, no, I'm not gonna do it. I just gotta do... 
I just... It's something like the same... 

G                          C/g C/g G
You say that you're fed up
You say you're gonna head up
And you run around packing
Like a chicken with your head off
I just wanna ask you
Honey, where are you at?
Cause I tell you all the time
That you don't have to do that.

            A                          A7
Well, I'm a-writing a song about you
  D                       A
A true song as real as my tears
           D
But you've no need to fear it,
       A           D 
'cause no one will hear it,
       A                            E            A
'cause sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year

I'll tell all about how you cheated
I'd like all the world to hear
I'd like to get even
With you 'cause you're leavin'
But sad songs and waltzes aren't selling this year

          C/e            
Won't you reach out, love, and touch me,
       G
Let me hold you for a while?
       Am             /g
I been all around the world
          D7/f#            F6
Oh, how I long to see you smile

          C/e
There's a shadow on the moon,
        G
and the waters here below
       Am/e
do not shine the way they should
      F
And I love you just in case you didn't know

       C    /b
Let it go

Version from The Gaslight Café, Oct. 1962

Capo 5th fret (sounding key F major)

B
I got a woman fine as she can be

She's gonna get mad when she sees you here with me

You better, you had better
E
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
F#
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
F# /e  /d#  /c# B
Before it's too late.

Now she is fire to the wind and snow
But if she comes, you better go
You had better
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
Before it's too late.

E
You felt on your leavin' and you're so desired
B
 I mean you're yearning and you're heeding mine
