(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
ABG
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
ABG
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
ABG
We could have the best times if you lighten up your life
