[V. Peterson, S. Hoffs]
["ba dop, ba dop" over an E7 riff. This riff gets re-used
all over the place (no pun intended)]
E7
Writing out lines as they come to me
A7 E7
Scratching them out almost immediately
A7 F E7
Don't know what it's done to me
E7
Well it's cold, it's wet, it's been raining all night
A7 E7
And there's a letter I've been trying to write
A7 F E7
Something better waiting somewhere for me
A A7
And one of them is sitting on the wrong coast
E C#
One awaits an answer by return post
F# A
Waiting, waiting, waiting
E7
Try to remember how long it's been
A7 E7
Since there was more to us than paper and pen
A7 F E7
Think how easy it is to conceive
E7
And I know when we're together again
A7 E7
We'll be strangers for an hour and then
A7 F E7
We'll have to figure out if this thing is real
A A7
And one of them is sitting on the wrong coast
E C#
One awaits an answer by return post
F# A
Waiting, waiting, waiting

Cold and wet and rain all night
A7 E7
There's a letter I've got to write
A7 F E7
Something better is waiting for me
A A7
And one of them is sitting on the east coast
E C#
One awaits an answer by return post
F# A
Waiting, waiting, waiting
A A7
Take a drink and staring out the window
E C#
Wondering how long this can continue
F# A
Waiting, waiting
