identical to the chorus, except that the final "F" is held until the verse begins
[A#6add11 / / A#6add11 / / ]
VERSE 1
A#6add11
Midnight hour's almost over
/
Time is running out for the magic pair
A#6add11
I know you gave the best that you have
/
but one more chance couldn't be all that hard to bear
CHORUS 1
A#6add11 /
So wait for me, please
/
Wait for me, oh I
I guess that's more than I should ask,
A#6add11 /
but won't you wait for me, please
/
wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast
VERSE 2
A#6add111
You could go either way; is it easier to stay
/
I wonder what you'll do when your chance rolls around
A#6add11
But you gotta know much I - I want to keep you
/
When I'm away, I'm afraid it will all fall down
CHORUS 2
A#6add11 /
So wait for me, please
/
Wait for me, oh I
I guess that's more than I should ask,
A#6add11 /
but won't you wait for me, please
/
wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast
BRIDGE 1
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
A#6add11 (v.2)
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
A#6add11 (v.2)
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Love is what it does and ours is doing nothing
A#6add11 (v.2)
But all the time we spent, it must be good for something
Please forgive all the disturbance I'm creating
A#6add11 (v.2)
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.
CHORUS 3
A#6add11 /
So wait for me, please

Wait for me, oh I

but won't you wait for me, please
/
wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast
BRIDGE 2
la la la la la la la la la la la la lady
A#6add11 (v.2)
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.
CHORUS 4
A#6add11 /
So wait for me, please
/
Wait for me, oh I
I guess that's more than I should ask,
A#6add11 /
but won't you wait for me, please
/
wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast, yes it is
BRIDGE 3
la la la la la la la la la la la la lady
A#6add11 (v.2)
But you gotta lot to learn if you think that I'm not waiting for you.
FINAL CHORUS

wait for me, oh I
I know the light is fading fast
