[Intro] Em G D A [Verse 1]
   Em                                          G                                    
There's an old man living in the back of you woods tonight.

      D                                   A
You forgot he was even there, but you've never slipped his mind.

 Em                                           G
He's living off of scraps of you, you never knew you left behind.

            D                                    A
And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile.
[Chorus]
 A                             C
He's waiting on the night to fall.

                          G
The old man's coming to call,

     D                                Em
But you don's see the writing on the wall.

                              C
He'll never step out in the light; 

                     G
no he's just biding time.

                 D                                 B 
And while you slumber, hes gonna come and take it all.

                               C   
He's waiting on the night to fall,

 G                            D     A
He's waiting on the night to fall. 
[Verse 2]
Em                                             G
He knows you have the answers but truth lies dusty on your shelf.

          D                                                  A
And the sword that you could slay him with has become an ornament
and nothing else.
 Em
You could put him back down in his hole in the ground,

          G
but he knows you never will.

            D                                   A
He's been around so long, you got used to the smell.
[Chorus]
 A                             C
He's waiting on the night to fall.

                          G
The old man's coming to call,

     D                                Em
But you don's see the writing on the wall.

                              C
He'll never step out in the light; 

                     G
no he's just biding time.

                 D                                 B 
And while you slumber, hes gonna come and take it all.

                               C   
He's waiting on the night to fall,

 G                            D     A
He's waiting on the night to fall.
[Bridge]
                 C                                 Em
He knows he'll never have your soul, but he will gladly rob you blind.

             D                                  A
While you feasting at his table he'll tie you hands and numb you mind.

                 C                                           Em
He'll take you farther than you want to go, he'll keep you longer

                                    D
than you wan to stay.  And it will cost you 

                                    A
more than you'd ever thought you'd pay.
[Chorus]
 A                             C
He's waiting on the night to fall.

                          G
The old man's coming to call,

     D                                Em
But you don's see the writing on the wall.

                              C
He'll never step out in the light; 

                     G
no he's just biding time.

                 D                                 B 
And while you slumber, hes gonna come and take it all.

                           Em
He's waiting on the night to fall.

C                                  G                  D
The old man's coming to call, but you don't see the writing on the wall.

Em                                 G
He's waiting on the night , he's waiting on the night to fall.

A                          Em
He's waiting on the night to fall.
