Verse 1
Come, and talk about the things we did to - day,
Hear, and laugh about our funny little ways,
While we have a few minutes to breathe,
And I know that it's time you must leave
Chorus
But darling, be home soon, I couldn't bear to wait..
...An extra minute if you dawdled,
My darling, be home soon,
It's not just these few hours,
But I've been waiting since I toddled,
For the great re - lief of having you to talk to
Verse 2
And now... a quarter of my life is almost past,
I think I've come to see myself, at last,
And I see that the time spent con - fused,
Was the time that I spent without you,
And I feel my - self in blue
Chorus
But darling, be home soon, I couldn't bear to wait..
...An extra minute if you dawdled,
My darling, be home soon,
It's not just these few hours,
But I've been waiting since I toddled,
For the great re - lief of having you to talk to

Chorus
So, darling ...my darling, be home soon,
I couldn't bear to wait...
...An extra minute if you dawdled,
My darling, be home soon,
It's not just these few hours,
But I've been waiting since I toddled,
For the great re - lief of having you to talk to
Verse 3
Go, and beat your crazy head against the sky,
Try... and see beyond the houses and your eyes,
It's o - kay... to shoot... the moon
Chorus
Darling, be home soon,
I couldn't bear to wait...
An extra minute if you dawdled,
My darling, be home soon,
It's not just these few hours,
But I've been waiting since I toddled,
For the great re - lief of having you to talk... to
=====================================================
For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below two of the diagrams
C/G Csus4
<12 of 18> <2 of 18>
The remaining chord boxes can be the default first
option and don't need any reselecting
For the G to C/G changes, play the G chord using the
middle, ring and little fingers, then the C/G by
moving the middle finger across to the 4th string
and adding the other note on the 2nd string with your
index finger. Elsewhere the G chord can be played as
usual with the index, middle and ring fingers.
Emphasise the bass note of each chord.
PLEASE NOTE:
Although every other source has the 2nd verse ending
'in bloom', I believe it is actually 'in blue',
rhyming with 'you'. This makes much more sense in the
context of the whole song being about his loved one
having to leave for a while. Even in live videos it
isn't distinct enough, so please make your own choice
