G                            D7                C                G
When the sun wakes up in the west and lays its head down in the east

Chorus:
                  C                                  G
But don't wait on me (little darling) Lord can't you see (little darling)
       C                         D7
I only go (so far then) no guarantee
              C                                G
Don't wait on me (to win you) that's something I (just can't do)
               C                 D7            G
Never have and don't (intend to) don't wait on me


Verse 2:
                            D7          C              G
When the wind don't blow in Chicago and LA is cold and clear
                     Em        A7               D7
When they unfurl Old Glory and no one stands to cheer
        G              D7                C              G
When my brother-in-law phones me and the charges aren't reversed
         C                   G      E7       A7         D7        G
When the cabbie don't want a bigger tip I'll be slidin' home from first


Chorus:
                  C                                  G
But don't wait on me (little darling) Lord can't you see (little darling)
       C                         D7

                      D7                C             G
When you load up on a long shot and you win by half a nose
                       Em      A7                D7
When the 4th of July parade is called because it snows
         G               D7            C                   G
When the waiting room is empty and the doc says come right in
     C               G      E7        A7             D7   G
When Christmas comes before New Years I'll be comin' home again


Chorus:
                  C                                  G
But don't wait on me (little darling) Lord can't you see (little darling)
       C                         D7
I only go (so far then) no guarantee

Don't wait on me (to win you) that's something I (just can't do)
               C                 D7            G
Never have and don't (intend to) don't wait on me
