[Verse 1]

         G        C                               G
        Come and talk of all the things we did today
                   C                           G
        Here and laugh about our funny little ways
                  C  C/B    Am7          G
        while we have a few minutes to breathe
              C    C/B       Am7             G
        and I know that it's time you must leave


[Chorus]

            Csus4 [x3302x]   C
        But darling be home soon
          Csus4             C             G
        I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
           Csus4           C
        My darling be home soon
             Csus4              C                   G
        It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
                  C     C/B      Am    D7      G
        For the great relief of having you to talk to


[Verse 2]

            G        C                            G
        And now   a quarter of my life is almost passed
          C                                G
        I think I've come to see myself at last
              C   C/B       Am             G
        and I see that the time spent confused
                 C   C/B     Am            G
        was the time that I spent without you
               C    C/B Am Am/G  D7
        And I feel  myself  in  bloom


[Chorus]

            Csus4 [x3302x]   C
        But darling be home soon
          Csus4             C             G
        I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
           Csus4           C
        My darling be home soon
             Csus4              C                   G
        It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
                  C     C/B      Am    D7      G
        For the great relief of having you to talk to

[Verse 3]

        G      C                                G

                C                              G
        try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
             C  C/B  Am  Am7/G D7
        It's ok to  shoot the moon
