[Intro 1]
[Gm]
[F][Gm][F]
[Gm]

[Verse 1]
An [Gm]occasional joint,
[F]a g[Gm]lass or two of beer[F]
Still I [Eb]would never have [F]guessed that
you'd [Eb]wind up [F]here[Am]
In a half- way [F]house[G],
[Am]on a dead- end s[G]treet
[Dm]In a run- down p[G]art of a
[Dm]one- horse [G]town
But just [Eb]do what they say,
don't [F]worry 'bout your girl
'Cause I [Eb]won't run away,
and I [F]won't run around
And I [G]won't let you down,
and [Cm]without a doubt
I'll [F]be waiting, [Dsus4]waiting
Waiting at the gate when they [Gsus4]let you[G]
[Cm]out[Fm][G][Cm][Fm][G][Gm]
You set the world [F]on fire,
[Gm]dancing after dark[F]
Now [Eb]you're play[Cm] ing soli[F]taire
in a [Cm]fenced- in [F]park[Am]
I'm not the one [G]to judge you,
[Am]so baby don't be scare[G]d[Dm]
No one gets [G]a free ride,
[Dm]none of us [G]is spared
I'll be [Eb]back on the ninth,
I've [F]circled the date
[Eb]Three o'clock sharp,
and I won't [F]be late
You've [G]been through hell I know
what [Cm]that's all about
And I'll be wait[F]ing, [Dsus4]waiting
Waiting at the gate when
they [Gsus4]let you o[G]ut

[Verse 2]
[Cm]The [Fm]docto[G]rs [Cm]have so little faith
They [Fm]say you were a clas[G]sic case
They [Cm]said the chance is eight in ten
They'd [Fm]see you back in here [G]again
[Gsus4][Fm]

[Interlude 1]
[Eb][Fm][Eb][Gm]

[Verse 3]
But I'm counting on [F]you [Gm]to prove[Eb]
the doctors [F]wrong[Eb]
I'm imagining [F]you,
[Eb]healthy and [F]strong[Am]
Your papers all [G]stamped,
[Am]your eyes so brigh[G]t and [Dm]blue
Looking like [G]a baby [D]picture [G]of you[F]
[Eb]Walking down the path,
[F]your suitcase in your hand
[Eb]The howling at your back,
[F]a brand new man
Be a [G]perfect little camper,
be a [Cm]brave little scout
And I'll [F]be waiting [D]wait
[Dsus4]ing[D]
Waiting at the gate when they
[Gsus4]let you o[G]ut..[C].
