Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: F I fumbled with the napkin G I had a glass of wine C I was a little early Am I had a little time D I sat up at the bar G Talkin' to a stranger C G Am It seemed a safe thing to do Dm While I was waiting G C While I was waiting for you
F He said that I was pretty G Then he turned back to his beer C And somethin' 'bout this stranger Am Was subtle and sincere Dm He said he grew up in Memphis G But he didn't like the blues C G Am And our one dance turned into two Dm While I was waiting G C While I was waiting for you Chorus: F When you walked in the door G When you walked up to him C When you took my hand F And said that you were cutting in Fmaj7 This stranger from Memphis G Was very polite Am D He said "You sure do have a lovely wife" Dm F G Wife, he thought I was your wife Verse 2: Fmaj7 Well that's what got me thinking G It's like someone slammed a door C You just want a girlfriend Am I want so much more Dm You ask me what's the hurry G You say let's take our time C G Am Well I say our time it just flew Dm While I was waiting G While I was waiting Fmaj7 For you to pop the question G For you to make your move C G Am I turned into someone new Dm While I was waiting G F While I was waiting for you G F G Waiting for you Fmaj7 G F G While I was waiting for you Fmaj7 G F While I was waiting for you
