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