[Verse 1]
   G                                            D
There's an old man living in the back of your woods tonight
     Em                                   C
You forgot he was even there, but you've never slipped his mind
  G                                       D
He's living off of scraps of you you never knew you left behind
     Em7                                   C
And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile


[Chorus]
                            C
He's waiting on the night to fall
                        G
The old man's coming to call
 D                               Em7
You don't see the writing on the wall
                            C
He'll never step out in the light
                    G
No, he's just biding time
              D                                    Em
And while you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all
                            C       Em
He's waiting on the night to fall
                            Am7     A7
He's waiting on the night to fall


[Verse 2]
  G                                          D
He knows you have the answers, but Truth lies dusty on your shelf
         Em7                                               C
And the sword that you could slay him with has become an ornament and nothing else
           G                                                 D
You could put him back down in his hole in the ground, but he knows you never will
         Em7                                 C
He's been around so long you got used to the smell


[Chorus]
                            C
He's waiting on the night to fall
                        G
The old man's coming to call
 D                               Em7
You don't see the writing on the wall
                            C
He'll never step out in the light
                    G
No, he's just biding time
              D                                    Em
And while you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all
                            C       Em
He's waiting on the night to fall
                            Am7     A7
He's waiting on the night to fall


[Bridge]
    C
He knows he'll never have your soul
    G
But he will gladly rob you blind
    D                                      Em
While you're feasting at his table, he'll tie your hands and numb your mind
    C
He'll take you farther than you wanna go
    G
He'll keep you longer than you wanna stay
     Em                                              D
And it will cost you more than you ever thought you'd pay


[Chorus]
                            C
He's waiting on the night to fall
                        G
The old man's coming to call
 D                               Em7
You don't see the writing on the wall
                            C
He'll never step out in the light
                    G
No, he's just biding time
              D                                    Em
And while you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all
                            C       Em     C     Em
He's waiting on the night to fall
                            C       Em     C     Em
He's waiting on the night to fall


[Outro]
C
Hes waiting on the night
Em
Hes waiting on the night to fall
C
The old mans coming to call
Em                                    D
But you don't see, you don't see the writing on the wall
C
Hes waiting on the night
Em
Hes waiting on the night to fall
C                               G    D    C    Em
Hes waiting on the night to fall
