Intro:
G

Verse 1:

       G    C        G       D
Common man, six foot tall he stands

C                            G                D
Waiting on his date for some company party in France

          G         C                G            D
And she’s late, the boss man said “a quarter till eight”

       C                         G                                    D
And as nine rolled around at his watch he’s looking down, the ticking fate.

       C                 D                    G
Oh the funny thing about love is it makes you wait.

Verse 2:

            G                    C            G             D
He wore his good shoes, now he’s walking them home with the homesick blues

        C                           G                                  D
Feeling like he fucked up, it’s all right he’ll get back up because he chooses to.

        G     C             G             D
His overcoat, speckled with snow he walks alone

     C                                 G                                 D       C
Just then he turns his head and sees a girl of which they said the poets wrote.

Chorus:

          D                   G                      Em     C
Don’t hesitate my dear, don’t wait put it all on the line

              D                      G                  Em      C
I’m a leap of faith my dear, and I’m slipping down your spine

       D                     G                     Em
I will wait my dear till I’m dead or the end of my time

   C          D           G     C G
Or you let me know you’re mine.

Verse 3:

          G            C              G            D
He went insane; oh the thought of her tortured his brain

      C                        G                            D
So he retraced his steps so he would not forget where she’d been

            G              C            G        D
But she was gone, just the scent of her lingered on

      C                              G                         D         C
So he lived all of his days with his head stuck in a maze half stoned

Chorus:

          D                   G                      Em     C
Don’t hesitate my dear, don’t wait put it all on the line

              D                      G                  Em      C
I’m a leap of faith my dear, and I’m slipping down your spine

       D                     G                     Em
I will wait my dear till I’m dead or the end of my time

   C          D           G
Or you let me know you’re mine.

   C          D           G      C G
Or you let me know you’re mine.
