[Intro]

Old man sits at his desk

One year from retirement,

And he's up for review

Not quite sure what to do

Each passing year

The workload grows

[Verse]

Bm D5 G6/9 G13 Em

I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late

For things to come my way

D5 G6/9 G13 Em A5

It always ends up the same

Bm D5 G13 Em

I must be missing, I must be missing the point

Bm D5 G6/9 G13 Em A5

Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise

[Chorus]

G6 Bm

So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

G6 Bm

There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life

[Verse]

Poor little tin man still swinging his axe,

G6 D5

Even though his joints are clogged with rust

Bm D5

My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away

Bm D5 G6/9

Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day

Bm D5 G6/9 G13 Em

My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away

Bm D5 G6/9 G13 Em A5

Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late

[Chorus]

G6 Bm

So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

G6 Bm

There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life

[Outro]

G6 Bm

So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

G6 Bm

Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die

G6 A5 Bm

So, wait up for me (x3)
