F
I fumbled with the napkin
  G
I had a glass of wine
  C
I was a little early
  Am
I had a little time
  Dm7
I sat up at the bar
G
Talkin' to a stranger
C           G             Am
It seemed a safe thing to do
      Dm7
While I was waiting
G                       C
While I was waiting for you
 
   F
He said that I was pretty
        G
Then he turned back to his beer
    C
And somethin' 'bout this stranger
    Am
Was subtle and sincere
           Dm7
He said he grew up in Memphis
       G
But he didn't like the blues
        C         G           Am
And our one dance turned into two
      Dm7
While I was waiting
G                       C
While I was waiting for you
 
 
[Chorus]
         F
When you walked in the door
         G
When you walked up to him
         C
When you took my hand
              F
And said that you were cutting in
     Fmaj7
This stranger from Memphis
    G
Was very polite
             Am                    D7
He said "You sure do have a lovely wife"
Dm7      C                  G
Wife, he thought I was your wife
 
 
[Verse 2]
     F
Well that's what got me thinking
          G
It's like someone slammed a door
C
You just want a girlfriend
Am
I want so much more
    Dm7
You ask me what's the hurry
    G
You say let's take our time
     C         G           Am
Well I say our time it just flew
      Dm7
While I was waiting
G
While I was waiting
 
    F
For you to pop the question
    G
For you to make your move
C          G          Am
I turned into someone new
      Dm7
While I was waiting
G                       F
While I was waiting for you
