Intro
A
[Verse 1]
A D A E
Common man, six foot tall he stands
D A E
Waiting on his date for some company party in France
A D A E
And she’s late, the boss man said “a quarter till eight”
D A E
And as nine rolled around at his watch he’s looking down, the ticking fate.
D E A
Oh the funny thing about love is it makes you wait.
[Verse 2]
A D A E
He wore his good shoes, now he’s walking them home with the homesick blues
D A E
Feeling like he fucked up, it’s all right he’ll get back up 'cause he chooses to.
A D A E
His overcoat, speckled with snow he walks alone
D A E D
Just then he turns his head and sees a girl of which they said the poets wrote.
[Chorus]
E A F#m D
Don’t hesitate my dear, don’t wait put it all on the line
E A F#m D
I’m a leap of faith my dear, and I’m slipping down your spine
E A F#m
I will wait my dear till I’m dead or the end of my time
D E A D A
Or you let me know you’re mine.
[Verse 3]
A D A E
He went insane; oh the thought of her tortured his brain
D A E
So he retraced his steps so he would not forget where she’d been
A D A E
But she was gone, just the scent of her lingered on
D A E D
So he lived all of his days with his head stuck in a maze half stoned
[Chorus]
E A F#m D
Don’t hesitate my dear, don’t wait put it all on the line
E A F#m D
I’m a leap of faith my dear, and I’m slipping down your spine
E A F#m
I will wait my dear till I’m dead or the end of my time
D E F#m
Or you let me know you’re mine.
D E A D A
Or you let me know you’re mine.
