Intro

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