(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
