[Intro] |F|C|Dm|Bb|C|Bb|Gm|C|/| [Instrumental] |F|C|Dm|Bb|C|Bb|Gm|C|F| [Verse 1]
      Am                 Dm  Bb Gm
Go to work and take your calls

         Bb             Gm            C      F
Hang the fruits of your labour on the walls.

        Am         Dm Bb Gm
Such precision and care

             Bb
What does it matter

           Gm             C     G
If there's no one here to share

                   Am7
The flowers in the garden -

    Fmaj7 Bb                 Gm7
The wine  - the "Waiting for Godot"

    Bbmaj7         C
And so much modern time?
[Chorus]
F   C Dm           Bb      Am
All I want is what you want

           Bb            Gm         C   F
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
[Verse 2]
         Am        Dm   Bb Gm
Years perfecting a stance

            Bb             Gm       C     G
Of measured cool fade into insignificance.

               Am7            Fmaj7  Bb
The moment one starts to understand

        Gm7          Bbmaj7      C
What on earth does it   profit a man?
[Chorus]
F   C Dm           Bb      Am
All I want is what you want

           Bb            Gm         C
I'm always waiting for a red letter day

    F                 C
For something special somehow new

Dm              Bbmaj7      C6
Someone saying 'I love you'.

          Bb               Gm         C
Baby, I'm waiting for that red letter day
[Bridge] |Dm
             C       C6                 Bdim
You can sneer or disappear behind a veener

        Am
Of self-control.
[Interlude]
        F                C
But for all of those who don't fit in

    Dm                             Bb
Who follow their instincts and are told

        Am         Bb
They sin this is a prayer

  Gm        C
A different way
[Chorus]
F   C Dm           Bb      Am
All I want is what you want

           Bb            Gm         C
I'm always waiting for a red letter day

     F                 C
Like Christmas morning when you're a kid.

  Dm                      Bb         Am
Admit you love me and you always did

         Bb               Gm         C
Baby I'm waiting for that red letter day
