Verse 1:
 FF
I fumbled with the napkin
 G+G
I had a glass of wine
 C majorC
I was a little early
 A minorAm
I had a little time
 D MajorD
I sat up at the bar
G+G
Talkin' to a stranger
C majorC      G+G       A minorAm
It seemed a safe thing to do
   DmDm
While I was waiting
G+G            C majorC
While I was waiting for you

  FF
He said that I was pretty
    G+G
Then he turned back to his beer
  C majorC
And somethin' 'bout this stranger
  A minorAm
Was subtle and sincere
      DmDm
He said he grew up in Memphis
    G+G
But he didn't like the blues
    C majorC     G+G      A minorAm
And our one dance turned into two
   DmDm
While I was waiting
G+G            C majorC
While I was waiting for you


Chorus:
     FF
When you walked in the door
     G+G
When you walked up to him
     C majorC
When you took my hand
       FF
And said that you were cutting in
   Fmaj7Fmaj7
This stranger from Memphis
  G+G
Was very polite
       A minorAm           D MajorD
He said "You sure do have a lovely wife"
DmDm    FF         G+G
Wife, he thought I was your wife

Verse 2:
   Fmaj7Fmaj7
Well that's what got me thinking
     G+G
It's like someone slammed a door
C majorC
You just want a girlfriend
A minorAm
I want so much more
  DmDm
You ask me what's the hurry
  G+G
You say let's take our time
   C majorC     G+G       A minorAm
Well I say our time it just flew
   DmDm
While I was waiting
G+G
While I was waiting

  Fmaj7Fmaj7
For you to pop the question
  G+G
For you to make your move
C majorC     G+G      A minorAm
I turned into someone new
   DmDm
While I was waiting
   G+G          FF
While I was waiting for you
G+G       FF  G+G
Waiting for you
   Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G      FF  G+G
While I was waiting for you
   Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G      FF
While I was waiting for you
