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

A#              A#6add11
Midnight hour's almost over
A#             Dm7/A
Time is running out for the magic pair
A#              A#6add11
I know you gave the best that you have
A#                         Dm7/A
but one more chance couldn't be all that hard to bear


CHORUS 1

A#6add11              Dm7/A
So wait for me, please
               Cm7/G
Wait for me, oh I
                         Dm7
I guess that's more than I should ask,
              A#6add11           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

A#                   A#6add111
You could go either way; is it easier to stay
A#                      Dm7/A
I wonder what you'll do when your chance rolls around
A#                      A#6add11
But you gotta know much I - I want to keep you
A#                      Dm7/A
When I'm away, I'm afraid it will all fall down


CHORUS 2

A#6add11              Dm7/A
So wait for me, please
               Cm7/G
Wait for me, oh I
                         Dm7
I guess that's more than I should ask,
              A#6add11           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

la la la la la la la la la la la la la
A#                                     Cm
Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing
Cm       Dm          A#6add11    F(v.2)
But all the time we spent, it must be good for something
A#                                     Cm
Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating
Cm            Dm                  A#6add11        F(v.2)
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.
