(intro)

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

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

A                                   B               G
We could have the best times if you lighten up your life

( D )

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

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

A                                   B               G
We could have the best times if you lighten up your life

( D )

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

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

A                                   B               G
We could have the best times if you lighten up your life
