G           C9                   D
Common man, six foot tall he stands
C9                                            D
Waiting on his date for some company party in France
G               C9                                D
And she's late, the boss man said "a quarter till eight"
C9                                                                 D
And as nine rolled around at his watch he's looking down, the ticking fate
C9                      D                     G  (C9 G)
Oh the funny thing about love is it makes you wait

G                       C9                                  D
He wore his good shoes, now he's walking them home with the homesick blues
C9                                                                  D
Feeling like he fucked up, it's all right he'll get back up because he chooses to
G             C9                         D
His overcoat, speckled with snow he walks alone
C9                                                                     D
Just then he turns his head and sees a girl of which they said the poets wrote

C9        D              Em                         G
Don't hesitate my dear, don't wait put it all on the line
C9              D                      Em                G
I'm a leap of faith my dear, and I'm slipping down your spine
C9     D                     Em                   G
I will wait my dear till I'm dead or the end of my time
C9            D           G  (C9 G)
Or you let me know you're mine

G               C9                                D
He went insane; oh the thought of her tortured his brain
C9                                                         D
So he retraced his steps so he would not forget where she'd been
G                C9                        D
But she was gone, just the scent of her lingered on
C9                                                             D
So he lived all of his days with his head stuck in a maze half stoned

C9        D                 Em                      G
Don't hesitate my dear, don't wait put it all on the line
C9            D                      Em                  G
I'm a leap of faith my dear, and I'm slipping down your spine
C9      D                   Em                     G
I will wait my dear till I'm dead or the end of my time
C9           D             G
Or you let me know you're mine
C9           D             G (C9 G)
Or you let me know you're mine
