Intro
Dm9 
Old man sits at his desk 
One year from retirement, 
F6 
And he's up for review 
Not quite sure what to do 
C5 
Each passing year 
The workload grows 
 
Verse
Dm9                 C5          F6            F13   Dm 
I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late 
Dm9 
For things to come my way 
C5                    F6   F13  Dm   G5 
It always ends up the same 
Dm9                  C5                   F13    Dm 
I must be missing, I must be missing the point 
Dm9                    C5           F6           F13   Dm   G5 
Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise 
 
Chorus
F6                                 Dm9 
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight 
                    F6                                   Dm9 
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life 
 
Verse
Dm9 
Poor little tin man still swinging his axe, 
F6                C5 
Even though his joints are clogged with rust 
Dm9                    C5  
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away 
Dm9                  C5      F6 
Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day 
Dm9                    C5          F6      F13   Dm 
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away 
Dm9                              C5                F6            F13 Dm  G5 
Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late 
 
Chorus
F6                                       Dm9 
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight 
                    F6                                    Dm9 
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life 
 
Outro
F6                                       Dm9 
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight 
                    F6                                    Dm9 
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life 
                  F6                                       Dm9 
Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die 
    F6     G5   Dm9 
So, wait up for me   (x3)
