Biography:
Like many before him, Colin Meloy (The Decemberists) was a frustrated college student before he was an acclaimed songwriter. While majoring in English, with an emphasis on creative writing at the University of Montana, he also played in an alternative-countryish band called Tarkio from 1996 - 1999. Members included Colin Meloy, Gibson Hartwell, Louis Stein, and Brian Collins. In 2006, Kill Rock Stars released a 2-cd discography of Tarkio's material entitled "Omnibus".

verse:
Riff
So I guess I'll make do
with all that was handed down
and shyly return
D
from this all night kickaround
Riff
Quiet and cursed
these tired bones demured
to shuffle it homeward
D
it's all I could endure
Chorus:
Dm
And have I waited too long
F Am
or did I not wait long enough?
F Fm
These old walls remind me
G
I guess I was hoping for something more
verse:
Riff
So lost in the live touch
of comfort and company
and whisper so coy
D
and all that surrounded me
Riff
And after we walk
down avenues endlessly
and stave the sunrise
D
from afirming our misery
Chorus:
Dm
And have I waited too long
F Am
or did I not wait long enough?
F Fm
I put it all behind me
G
I guess I was hoping for something more
Fm G
I guess I was hoping for something more
