[Intro] (A) E/D D Bm/A A As the world goes past me E/D D Bm/A A I have enough to last me G F#m E As long as you come to call Bm G9 A And hang your coat and hat on the hook in the hall G/D A This is the step we'll learn tonight Em F#m Turn on a dime and stay upright G F#m Come back slowly in your own time E E9 A I'll wait for you E/D D Bm/A A And as the world goes past me E/D D Bm/A A I have enough to last me G F#m E As long as we dance like this Bm G9 A What a man's never had he will never miss G/D A This is the way the step looks best Em F#m Keep it neat as you come to rest G F#m And if my heart seems to skip a beat E E9 A Just wait for me F/C G Just wait for me the way I wait for you Dm Em For all the endless hours in a week F Em This is the silent language lovers speak Dm G When they mean nothing except what's true F/C G Just wait for me the way I wait for you Dm Em To change your shoes before we say goodbye F Em This the world where I will never die Dm E E7 Or lie awake for what I'm going through [instrumental break] (A) E/D D Bm/A A And as the world goes past me E/D D Bm/A A I have enough to last me G F#m E As long as we dance like that Bm There's a hook in the hall G9 A And it's waiting for your coat and hat |
