(intro)

D5
  When I'm waiting standing on the corner
D5
  And it's coming 40 past the hour
D5
  In the midnight lonely freezing hour
D5
  With my insides churning in the gutter

G5
  And I'm waiting 40 past midnight
G5
  Catching rain in the soda light
D5
  Won't you come and call me to your window
D5
  Please don't leave me waiting on the corner

A5                                   B5               G5
We could have the best times if you lighten up your life

( D5 )

D5
  With my pockets holey on the inside
D5
  With my busride rolling in the gutter
D5
  But if you'd only light your lamp light
D5
  Then I'd be here than any other

G5
  Well I'm waiting 40 past midnight
G5
  Catching cold in the pouring rain
D5
  Won't you come and take me to your door step
D5
  So I can take myself home again

A5                                   B5               G5
We could have the best times if you lighten up your life

( D5 )

D5
  When I'm waiting standing on the corner
D5
  And the soda light begins to flicker
D5
  And it's getting 40 past the hour
D5
  And I think I won't see what I figure

G5
  Well I'm waiting freezing on the inside
G5
  Staring up at your window pane
D5
  If you won't come see me this evening
D5
  I can see myself here again

A5                                   B5               G5
We could have the best times if you lighten up your life
