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