[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#6add11
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
[Bridge 1]

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.
[Chorus 3]
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,

Wait for me, oh I

I know the light is fading fast, yes it is
