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

Verse 1
[Bb] [Bb6add11]
Midnight hour's almost over
[Bb] [Dm7/A]
Time is running out for the magic pair
[Bb] [Bb6add11]
I know you gave the best that you have
[Bb] [Dm7/A]
but one more chance couldn't be all that hard to bear
Chorus 1
[Bb6add11] [Dm7/A]
So wait for me, please
[Cm7/G]
Wait for me, oh I
[Dm7]
I guess that's more than I should ask,
[Bb6add11] [Dm7/A]
but won't you wait for me, please
[Cm7/G]
wait for me, oh I
[F]
I know the light is fading fast
Verse 2
[Bb] [Bb6add11]
You could go either way; is it easier to stay
[Bb] [Dm7/A]
I wonder what you'll do when your chance rolls around
[Bb] [Bb6add11]
But you gotta know much I - I want to keep you
[Bb] [Dm7/A]
When I'm away, I'm afraid it will all fall down
Chorus 2
[Bb6add11] [Dm7/A]
So wait for me, please
[Cm7/G]
Wait for me, oh I
[Dm7]
I guess that's more than I should ask,
[Bb6add11] [Dm7/A]
but won't you wait for me, please
[Cm7/G]
wait for me, oh I
[F]
I know the light is fading fast

[Bb] [Cm]
Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing
[Cm] [Dm] [Bb6add11] [F]*
But all the time we spent, it must be good for something
[Bb] [Cm]
Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating
[Cm] [Dm] [Bb6add11] [F]*
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.
