The Longer the Waiting (the Sweeter the Kiss) Josh Turner
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE LONGER THE WAITING (THE SWEETER THE KISS) by Josh Turner
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very similar to the version by Anna Ternheim, but transposed a couple of
half-steps higher, which Josh then drops a whole octave. The Ebm chord was
just obnoxious to try to play, so if you wish you can just sub in the C
chord. Changes the mood a little bit, but it's much easier to play.
Standard tuning
VERSE I (also serves as the Intro)
Oh, the [C]longer the waiting, the sw[F]eeter the [C]kiss

You can [C]marry another, it's [F]alright with [Am]me
