G                                      Em
On the ugly side of midnight without a script
    C
The mask has slipped
G                                    Em
And make-up runs in mirrors down the stair
         C
It's the usual case of
D
The only point being proven
       C
Is the one that was first made

[Chorus]

G
Wait till the morning
Em
The hours will turn you as you lay
G
Wait till the morning
Em
When no one's listening anyway
D
No greater good will come of it
C
Just wait

[Verse 2]

G                                          Em
When eyes are bloodshot tired it's time to make
    C
A swift escape and
G                                    Em
Stop rying to change a shovel into a spade
     C
It's all the same
        G                              Em
But the evening lacks the foresight to concede

And no one sees
G
The names upon the leaderboard
C
Cause no one's in the lead

[Chorus]

G
Wait till the morning
Em
The hours will turn you as you lay
G
Wait till the morning
Em
Burn the fiendish effigy
D
Throw out the lofty arguments
C
There are no more ways to say these things
D
We are all designed to wax and wane
C
The light will come back on again
D               C
Just wait
D               C
Just wait

[Outro]

G                        Em
Wait till the morning
G                        Em
Wait till the morning
D C G
