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