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

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
Cm Dm Bb6add11 F*
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
Cm Dm Bb6add11 F*
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
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
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.

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
Cm Dm Bb6add11 F*
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
Cm Dm Bb6add11 F*
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.

Final Chorus

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
