[Intro]
Em9
Old man sits at his desk
One year from retirement,
G6
And he's up for review
Not quite sure what to do
D5
Each passing year
The workload grows
 
[Verse]
Em9                 D5          G6/9            G13   Em
I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late
Em9
For things to come my way
D5                    G6/9   G13  Em   A5
It always ends up the same
Em9                  D5                   G13    Em
I must be missing, I must be missing the point
Em9                    D5           G6/9           G13   Em   A5
Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise
 
[Chorus]
G6                                 Em9
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
                    G6                                   Em9
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
 
[Verse]
Em9
Poor little tin man still swinging his axe,
G6                D5
Even though his joints are clogged with rust
Em9                    D5
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away
Em9                  D5      G6/9
Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day
Em9                    D5          G6/9      G13   Em
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away
Em9                              D5                G6/9            G13 Em  A5
Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late
 
[Chorus]
G6                                       Em9
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
                    G6                                    Em9
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life
 
[Outro]
G6                                       Em9
So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
                  G6                                       Em9
Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die
    G6     A5   Em9
So, wait up for me   (x3)
