[Intro]
A D A F#m D (x2)
[Verse]
The Acool is dead, baby go on and sleep
DRest your weary head and lover, bury me
AAnd in the morning we'll start over again
That's F#mhow they do it up on the sDcreen
See,A me and my baby, we would dance all night
But DI don't know the steps in my baby's time
To dAo it like they do it for the girls uptown
I F#mheard they light them up like the Dblues
[Pre-chorus]
So I'm F#mwaiting (So I'm Ewaiting)
And she's F#mwaiting (And she's Dwaiting)
For us to Eremember
[Chorus]
Was I F#mgood to Dyou, the wAife of my yEouth
Not aF#mnother soul could lDove you
Like my rAotten bones Edo
So IF#m will wDait on the eAdges in beEtween
These F#mNew York strEeets
Where you and I would mAeet
[Interlude]
A D A F#m D
[Verse]
AFor twenty nine years we loved that line
And DI would take it easy if I had your mind
But IA'm a cannonball to a house on fire
And yF#mou're slow like Motown sDoul
So wAhat now lover with your long black hair
If DI cut you open, baby I can repair
And Abandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue
And F#mI'm the only one round Dhere
[Pre-chorus]
And I'm wF#maiting (And I'm Ewaiting)
And she's wF#maiting (And she's wDaiting)
For us to rEecover
[Chorus]
Was I F#mgood to Dyou, the wAife of my yEouth
Not aF#mnother soul could lDove you
Like my rAotten bones Edo
So IF#m will wDait on the eAdges in beEtween
These F#mNew York strEeets
Where you and I would mAeet
[Bridge]
And only DI-I-AI can Eheal your F#mwounds
Only DI-I-IA can hEeal your wF#mounds
When you cDan't go oAn
When you cEan't go oF#mn
When you cDan't goA on
AnyEmore, holdF#m on
[Interlude]

AndF#m I will Dwait on the Aedges in beEtween

Where you and I would mAeet
