[Verse 1]
    A                         Em7
Well I'm standing here freezing Outside your golden garden
    A                         Em7
Got my ladder leaned up against your wall
    A                         Em7
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
    A                         Em7
Come on Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall
    A
And now you're tellin' me . . .
 
[Chorus]
   E                        G         A
Think we better wait till tomorrow
   E                        G         A
(Think I better wait till tomorrow)
   E                        G         Amaj9
Think we better wait till tomorrow
   Em7
Better make sure it's right, so till tomorrow good night . . .
 
 
[Verse 2]
    A                         Em7
Oh, Dolly Mae, how can you hang me up this way?
    A                         Em7
Oh, on the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
    A                         Em7
Now I'm standing here like some turned down, serenading fool
    A                         Em7
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed mind of yours
    A
And now you're telling me  . . .
 
[Chorus]
   E                        G         A
Think we better wait till tomorrow
   E                        G         A
(Think I better wait till tomorrow)
   E                        G         Amaj9
Think we better wait till tomorrow
   Em7
Better make sure it's right, so till tomorrow good night . . .
 
[Verse 3]
  A                         Em7
Oh! Dolly Mae, girl, you must be insane
    A                         Em7
So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane
    A                         Em7
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree?
    A                         Em7
Click bang, what a hang, your daddy just shot poor me
    F#m
And I hear you say, as I fade away. . .
 
[Chorus]
   E                        G         Amaj9
Think we better wait till tomorrow
   E                        G         A
(Think I better wait till tomorrow)
   E                        G         Amaj9
Think we better wait till tomorrow
   Em7
Won't be around, won't be around, won't be around. . .
