I Couldnt Wait Forever Chords & Lyrics - Dolly Parton

[INTRO]
[D] [G] [D] [Am6]

[VERSE]
[D]I couldn't wait forever
[G]Did you expect me to
[D]I guess you thought I'd never
[G]Find somebody new
[D]I lived on dreams and promises
[G]As long as I could
[D]I couldn't wait forever
[G]The way you thought I would

[D]The lonely nights grew longer
[G]As I prayed for time to fly
[D]I lived on hopes that you'd return
[G]And that's how I got by
[D]The agony of loneliness
[G]Just got too much for me
[D]I couldn't wait forever
[G]Needing love so desperately

[BRIDGE]
[Am6]So I found new lips to kiss me
[D]New arms [G]to hold [D]me tight
[E7]I found new love and happiness
[A]To fill these empty nights
[D]You took my love for granted
[G]Now my heart has found a new home

[D]I couldn't wait forever
[G]Forever's just too long
[D]I couldn't wait forever
[G]Forever's just too long
