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