D 
  When I'm waiting standing on the corner 
D 
  And it's coming 40 past the hour 
D 
  In the midnight lonely freezing hour 
D 
  With my insides churning in the gutter 

G 
  And I'm waiting 40 past midnight 
G 
  Catching rain in the soda light 
D 
  Won't you come and call me to your window 
D 
  Please don't leave me waiting on the corner 

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

( D ) 

D 
  With my pockets holey on the inside 
D 
  With my busride rolling in the gutter 
D 
  But if you'd only light your lamp light 
D 
  Then I'd be here than any other 

G 
  Well I'm waiting 40 past midnight 
G 
  Catching cold in the pouring rain 
D 
  Won't you come and take me to your door step 
D 
  So I can take myself home again 

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

( D ) 

D 
  When I'm waiting standing on the corner 
D 
  And the soda light begins to flicker 
D 
  And it's getting 40 past the hour 
D 
  And I think I won't see what I figure 

G 
  Well I'm waiting freezing on the inside 
G 
  Staring up at your window pane 
D 
  If you won't come see me this evening 
D 
  I can see myself here again 

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