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