[Cm] This wooden bench is getting hotter by the hour, [F] the sun is going down, [Bb] it's getting [F] dark.
[Bb] I realize I'm cold, [F] the rain begins to pour, [Bb] as I watch the windows of [Gm] the second floor.
[Eb].
The lights are on, it's time to go, [Bb] [F] .
it's time [Bb] at last to let him [Eb] know.

[F] .
[Cm] I believe it would be fair to [F] say, you [Bb] look bewildered, [Gm] [Cm] and you wonder why I'm here [Ab] today, [Eb] and so you [Bb] should, I would.
[Eb] When I left I felt I'd had [Bb] enough, but in this [Cm] shaping floor I [Eb] appear now.
[Ab] I am in [Eb] hope, another [Ab] hope is why [Bb] I am here [G].
