[Verse 1]
      Am                 Dm  Bb Gm
Go to work and take your calls
         Bb             Gm            C      F
Hang the fruits of your labour on the walls.
        Am         Dm Bb Gm
Such precision and care
             Bb
What does it matter
           Gm             C     G
If there's no one here to share
                   Am7
The flowers in the garden -
    Fmaj7 Bb                 Gm7
The wine  - the "Waiting for Godot"
    Bbmaj7         C
And so much modern time?

[Chorus]
F   C Dm           Bb      Am
All I want is what you want
           Bb            Gm         C   F
I'm always waiting for a red letter day

[Verse 2]
         Am        Dm   Bb Gm
Years perfecting a stance
            Bb             Gm       C     G
Of measured cool fade into insignificance.
               Am7            Fmaj7  Bb
The moment one starts to understand
        Gm7          Bbmaj7      C
What on earth does it   profit a man?

[Chorus]
F   C Dm           Bb      Am
All I want is what you want
           Bb            Gm         C
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
    F                 C
For something special somehow new
Dm              Bbmaj7      C6
Someone saying 'I love you'.
          Bb               Gm         C
Baby, I'm waiting for that red letter day

[Bridge]
|Dm
             C       C6                 Bdim
You can sneer or disappear behind a veener
        Am
Of self-control.

[Interlude]
        F                C
But for all of those who don't fit in
    Dm                             Bb
Who follow their instincts and are told
        Am         Bb
They sin this is a prayer
  Gm        C
A different way

[Chorus]
F   C Dm           Bb      Am
All I want is what you want
           Bb            Gm         C
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
     F                 C
Like Christmas morning when you're a kid.
  Dm                      Bb         Am
Admit you love me and you always did
         Bb               Gm         C
Baby I'm waiting for that red letter day
