INTRO - Play this progression - listen to the song to determine chord changes - it's
identical to the chorus, except that the final "F" is held until the verse begins
[A#6add11 Dm7/A Cm7/G Dm7 A#6add11 Dm7/A Cm7/G F]
VERSE 1
Midnight hour's almost over
Time is running out for the magic pair
I know you gave the best that you have
but one more chance couldn't be all that hard to bear
CHORUS 1
So wait for me, please
Wait for me, oh I
I guess that's more than I should ask,
but won't you wait for me, please
wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast
VERSE 2
You could go either way; is it easier to stay
I wonder what you'll do when your chance rolls around
But you gotta know much I - I want to keep you
When I'm away, I'm afraid it will all fall down
CHORUS 2
So wait for me, please
Wait for me, oh I
I guess that's more than I should ask,
but won't you wait for me, please
wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast
BRIDGE 1
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
F(v.2)
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
F(v.2)
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing
F(v.2)
But all the time we spent, it must be good for something
Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating
F(v.2)
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.
CHORUS 3
So wait for me, please
Wait for me, oh I
I guess that's more than I should ask,
but won't you wait for me, please
wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast
BRIDGE 2
la la la la la la la la la la la la lady
F(v.2)
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.
CHORUS 4
So wait for me, please
Wait for me, oh I
I guess that's more than I should ask,
but won't you wait for me, please
wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast, yes it is
BRIDGE 3
la la la la la la la la la la la la lady
F(v.2)
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.
So wait for me, please
Wait for me, oh I
I guess that's more than I should ask,
but won't you wait for me, please
wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast
