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