Intro
D
[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 Bm G
Don’t hesitate my dear, don’t wait put it all on the line
A D Bm G
I’m a leap of faith my dear, and I’m slipping down your spine
A D Bm
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 Bm G
Don’t hesitate my dear, don’t wait put it all on the line
A D Bm G
I’m a leap of faith my dear, and I’m slipping down your spine
A D Bm
I will wait my dear till I’m dead or the end of my time
G A Bm
Or you let me know you’re mine.
G A D G D
Or you let me know you’re mine.
