[Verse 1]
F#m    E                D
I went walking down the boulevard

F#m      E                   D
Past the skateboards and the beggars

F#m       E              D
I was out looking in the windows

F#m      E                   D
Just out walking, letting my mind roam

F#m                E                D
If she hung around too much I might take her for granted

F#m            E                   D
But when I was away, she seemed an angel

F#m          E          D
The only one who really cared about me

F#m      E              D
The only one without an angle

E
For so long I've been lonely

D
Now I'm too weak to fight
[Chorus] N.C I've been waiting for tonight
 F#m  E     D        F#m   E     D
(Good night my love, sleep tight my love)
[Verse 2]
F#m       E                    D
Yes and I had a little time to kill

F#m  E                   D
As I crossed the parking lot

F#m               E               D
And I was feeling lucky to have a place to go

F#m     E                   D
Yeah my nerves were feeling shot

E
For so long I've been weary

D
There was no end in sight
[Chorus] N.C I've been waiting for tonight
 F#m  E     D        F#m   E     D
(Good night my love, sleep tight my love)
[Bridge]
G D G            A
    Oh I've been waiting 'round

 G  D         G          A
(Oh oh) For a night like this

 G    D     G              A
(Yeah yeah) Yeah I felt it coming down

 G      D     G
(Coming down) Since her first kiss
[Solo] F#m E D F#m E D
 F#m  E     D
(Good night my love)
F#m E D [Verse 3]
F#m          E                 D
Yeah and I'm wrestling with my overcoat

F#m      E                D
Yeah I'm fighting with my thoughts

F#m       E        D
I'm gonna trust my intuition

F#m       E                D
I'm gonna hope I don't get lost

E
For some time I've been lonely

D
I've been too weak to fight
[Chorus] N.C I've been waiting for tonight
 F#m  E     D        F#m   E     D
(Good night my love, sleep tight my love)

 F#m  E     D        F#m   E     D
(Good night my love, sleep tight my love)

 F#m  E     D        F#m   E     D
(Good night my love, sleep tight my love)
F#m E D F#m E D F#m E D
 F#m  E     D        F#m   E     D
