Standard (EADGBE)

 intro [x4]

 verse You stand in the doorway

  A block up the street

  Ringing the doorbell

  There’s tapping of feet

  High yellow hair

  And a worn brown suit...

  Enter, and break the news

 instr x2

 verse Now tell me the story

  I give it the time

  No need to worry

  Everything’s fine

  I’ll take you away

  From the name-calling scene

  Sure... you can bring your magazine

 chorus Cold and windblown on the old bandstand

  You and I walking hand in hand

  A neon-glow shining

  Down on us

  Don’t wait up for us

  Don’t wait up for us

 instr [x2]

 verse Now tell me the story

  I’ll give it the time

  When you stop looking

  Then you will find

  I’ll take you away

  From this name-calling scene

  Just bring your magazine

chorus Cold and windblown...

chorus Cold and windblown...

 coda

  Don’t wait up for us

  Don’t wait up for us
