  DWhen I'm waiting standing on the corner
  DAnd it's coming 40 past the hour
  DIn the midnight lonely freezing hour
  DWith my insides churning in the gutter
  GAnd I'm waiting 40 past midnight
  GCatching rain in the soda light
  DWon't you come and call me to your window
  DPlease don't leave me waiting on the corner
AWe could have the best times if you Blighten up your Glife
D
  DWith my pockets holey on the inside
  DWith my busride rolling in the gutter
  DBut if you'd only light your lamp light
  DThen I'd be here than any other
  GWell I'm waiting 40 past midnight
  GCatching cold in the pouring rain
  DWon't you come and take me to your door step
  DSo I can take myself home again
AWe could have the best times if you Blighten up your Glife
D
  DWhen I'm waiting standing on the corner
  DAnd the soda light begins to flicker
  DAnd it's getting 40 past the hour
  DAnd I think I won't see what I figure
  GWell I'm waiting freezing on the inside
  GStaring up at your window pane
  DIf you won't come see me this evening
  DI can see myself here again
AWe could have the best times if you Blighten up your Glife
D

When I'm waiting standing on the corner

And it's coming 40 past the hour

In the midnight lonely freezing hour

With my insides churning in the gutter

And I'm waiting 40 past midnight

Catching rain in the soda light

Won't you come and call me to your window

Please don't leave me waiting on the corner

A B G

We could have the best times if you lighten up your life

With my pockets holey on the inside

With my busride rolling in the gutter

But if you'd only light your lamp light

Then I'd be here than any other

Well I'm waiting 40 past midnight

Catching cold in the pouring rain

Won't you come and take me to your door step

So I can take myself home again

A B G

We could have the best times if you lighten up your life

When I'm waiting standing on the corner

And the soda light begins to flicker

And it's getting 40 past the hour

And I think I won't see what I figure

Well I'm waiting freezing on the inside

Staring up at your window pane

If you won't come see me this evening

I can see myself here again

A B G

We could have the best times if you lighten up your life
