[Intro]
G D Em C
[Verse 1]
TheGre's an old man living in the back of your woDods tonight
You fEmorgot he was even there, but you've nCever slipped his mind
HeG's living off of scraps of you you never Dknew you left behind
And aEm7s the sun goes down, he rises with a sCmile
[Chorus]
He's waiting on the night to Cfall
The old man's coming to Gcall
YDou don't see the writing on the Em7wall
He'll never step out in the Clight
No, he's just biding Gtime
And while you Dslumber, he's gonna come and take it Emall
He's waiting on the night to CfallEm  
He's waiting on the night to Am7fallA7  
[Verse 2]
He Gknows you have the answers, but Truth lies Ddusty on your shelf
And the sEm7word that you could slay him with has become an orCnament and nothing else
You could pGut him back down in his hole in the ground, but he Dknows you never will
He's been Em7around so long you got used to the Csmell
[Chorus]
He's waiting on the night to Cfall
The old man's coming to Gcall
YDou don't see the writing on the Em7wall
He'll never step out in the Clight
No, he's just biding Gtime
And while you Dslumber, he's gonna come and take it Emall
He's waiting on the night to CfallEm  
He's waiting on the night to Am7fallA7  
[Bridge]
He kCnows he'll never have your soul
But Ghe will gladly rob you blind
WhilDe you're feasting at his table, he'll tEmie your hands and numb your mind
He'lCl take you farther than you wanna go
He'lGl keep you longer than you wanna stay
And iEmt will cost you more than you ever thought you'd Dpay
[Chorus]
He's waiting on the night to Cfall
The old man's coming to Gcall
YDou don't see the writing on the Em7wall
He'll never step out in the Clight
No, he's just biding Gtime
And while you Dslumber, he's gonna come and take it Emall
He's waiting on the night to CfallEm  C  Em  
He's waiting on the night to CfallEm  C  Em  
[Outro]
CHes waiting on the night
EmHes waiting on the night to fall
CThe old mans coming to call
EmBut you don't see, you don't see the wDriting on the wall
CHes waiting on the night
EmHes waiting on the night to fall
CHes waiting on the night to fallG  D  C  Em
