[Intro 1]
[D][Dm][G][D][Dm][G][Dm][D][G][D][G]
[D]
Well I'm [Dm]waiting standing

[Verse 1]
[Dm]
on [G]the corner[D]
[Dm]And it's c[D]oming [Dm]fourty past the [G]hour[D]
In the mid[Dm]night lonely freezing [G]hour[D]
With my insides [Dm]churning [G]in the gutter

[Verse 2]
And I'm waiting [G]fourty past midnight
Catching rain in the soda [D]light
Won't [G]you come & call me
to your [D]window
Please don't leave me
[Dm]waiting [G]on the corner

[Verse 3]
[A]We could have the best time if you
[B]lighten [Bm]up y[G]our li[D]fe[G][D]
With my pock[Dm]ets [G]holey in the ins[C]ide
[Dm]With my bus [D]ride rolli[Dm]ng
[G]in the[D] gutter
But if you [G]would only light
your lamp [D]light
Then I would be [G]here than any other
Well I'm waiting [C]fourty

[Verse 4]
[Em]past mid[G]night
Catching cold in the pouring [D]rain
Won't [G]you come & take me to your door
[C]So [Dm]I can take [D]myself home [G]again

[Verse 5]
[A]We could have the best time if you [Bm]lighten [B]up your lif[G]e

[D][G][A][D]
When I'm waiting [Dm]standing

[Verse 6]
on [G]the corner[Dm]
And the soda light begin[G]s to flicker
[Dm]And it's getting f[G]ourty
past the [Dm]hour[D]
And I think I won't see [Dm]what [G]I figure
Well I'm waiting freezing on the inside
Staring up at your window pane
If you won't come see me this [Dm]evening
I can see my[D]self here [G]again

[Verse 7]
[A]We could have the best days
if you [Bm]lighten up [G]your life
[A]We could have the best time if you [Bm]lighten up your [G]life
