[Intro]
D A D G D
Please baby wait for me, wait for me, wait for me
[Verse]
D A
I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin
D
And I had a fight with my best girl friend
G
But when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend
D A D A
But, please baby wait for me until they let me out a- gain
D A
I know the same thing has happened be- fore
D
And every time it does, I hate it more and more
G
But when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend
D A D
But, please baby wait for me until they let me out a- gain
[Chorus]
A
(Spend a whole lot of time,) spend a whole lot of time
E
(Spend a whole lot of time,) sittin' and thinkin'
A
(Spend a whole lot of time,) sittin' and just thinkin' bout you
[Bridge]
A E
If I didn't spend so much time sittin' and drinkin'
A
We'd still have a love that we once knew
[Verse]
D A
Oh, I won't promise the same thing won't happen a- gain
D
But I can promise, it'll be a long, long time till then
G
'Cause when I'm drinkin', I am nobody's friend
D A D
But, please baby wait for me until they let me out a- gain
[Outro]
