Capo 2 (all chords relative to capo)
AmGAm
Waiting for the nightingale to sing
AmGG
Waiting for the harbor lights to dim
AmGAm
I've been on the outside lookin' in
AmGG
While the widow in the window waits for him.
CAm
But he won't be back
CAm
Can't you realize that?
CAmG
And he's laughing at your sorrow
-
AmGAm
Waiting for a ship that won't come in
AmGG
Waiting for a tear to reach her chin
AmGG
I'm knockin', but she will not let me in.
CAm
But he won't be back
CAm
Can't you realize that?
CAmG
And he's laughing at your sorrow
CAm
How can I explain, your love is all in vain
G
While he wastes your precious hours
GAmG
I could fill your days with flowers.
CAm
How can I replace the smile upon a face
CGAm
Of a lover that I can never be
AmAb7
How can I begin to make you love again
CAmG
And try to make you see
CAm
That he won't be back
CAm
Can't you realize that?
CAmG
And he's laughing at your sorrow
CAm
How can I explain, your love is all in vain
G
While he wastes your precious hours
GAm
I could fill your days with flowers.
