[Verse]
D A
Empty street, end of the day
G G
Kickin’ red leaves while the children play
D A
Smokey sky got me thinkin’ of you
G G
Almost wishin’ I’d never seen that blue
[Chorus]
D A G G
I, I’m trying to keep my feet
D A
Until the next time the race starts
G
Closer to the finish line
D A
And down, in my heart
G G G D A
I know this could be the start of something
G Em G
And I know, I’m gonna’ wait until the next time
[Verse]
D A
Empty town, end of the year
G G
I walked a ragged mile to you my dear
D A
Turnin’ back, I nearly froze
G G
Icicles hangin’ off an ice skater’s nose
[Chorus]
D A G G
I, I’m trying to keep my head
D A
Until the next time the race starts
G G
Closer to the finish line
D A
And down, in my heart
G A G D A
I know this could be the start of something
G Em G D A
And I know, I’m gonna’ wait until the next time
G
For you
G G
I’m gonna’ wait until the next time
[Bridge]
Bm G D
Just another outcast underneath the overcast
A Bm
Waitin’ on a sunny day
G D A
Tryin’ find the words to say, eh eh
Bm G
Tryin’ to find a heartbeat underneath an overcoat
D A Bm
Kind of lost on Main Street callin’ for a life boat
Bm G D A
I know we’ll meet again, but I can’t say where or when
Bm G G D A Bm G G D A
Bm G G D A G
[Verse]
D A
Empty heart, you came and you went
G G
Beware the magic gotcha in the magic event
D A
Hitched a ride slidin’ on the back of a car
G G
Christmas lights shinin’ on a water tower star and
[Chorus]
D A G G
I’m, I’m tryin’ a to keep my feet
D A
Until the next time the race starts
G G
Closer to the finish line
D A
And down, in my heart
G A G D A
I know this could the start of something
G Em G D A
And I know, I’m gonna’ wait until the next time
G
For you
D A A
I’m gonna’ wait until the next time
G
For you
D A D
I’m gonna’ wait until the next time comes
