Darling Be Home Soon

| A              | A              |

[Verse 1]
A        D                               A
Come and talk of all the things we did today.
A        D                            A
Here and laugh about our funny little ways.
         D*   A/C#* Bm**       A
While we have a few minutes to breathe,
     D*     A/C#*     Bm**          A
then I know that it's time you must leave.

[Chorus]
     G**              D**    Dsus2* D*
But, darling, be home soon,
  Dsus4**          D**           A                      A**
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled.
   G**             D**    Dsus2* D*
My darling be home soon,
     Dsus4**            D**                 A                      A
it's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
        D*      A/C#*   Bm*    E7*    A            A
for the great relief of having you to talk to.

[Verse 2]
    A     D                            A
And now a quarter of my life is almost   past,
  D                                A
I think I've come to see myself at last.
      D*  A/C#*    Bm*  E*       A
And I see that the time spent confused
        D*   A/C#*  Bm*   E*        A
was the time that I spent   without you
    D* A/C#*  Bm*  A* E7         E7
and I  feel myself in bloom, so, darling.

[Chorus]
    G**              D**    Dsus2* D*
So, darling, be home soon,
  Dsus4**          D**           A                      A**
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled.
   G**             D**    Dsus2* D*
My darling be home soon,
     Dsus4**            D**                 A                      A
it's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
        D*      A/C#*   Bm*    E7*    A            A
for the great relief of having you to talk to

[Interlude]

                                So, darling ...

[Chorus]
     G**              D**    Dsus2* D*
But, darling, be home soon,

My darling be home soon,
     Dsus4**            D**                 A                      A
it's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
        D*      A/C#*   Bm*    E7*    A            A
for the great relief of having you to talk to.

[Verse 3]
A      D                                A
Go and beat your crazy head against the sky.
A       D                              A
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes.
      D* A/C#* Bm*   A*  E7          E7
It's OK    to  shoot the moon, just, darling ...

[End-Chorus]
   G**              D**    Dsus2* D*
My darling, be home soon,
  Dsus4**          D**           A                      A**
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled.
   G**             D**    Dsus2* D*
My darling be home soon,
     Dsus4**            D**                 A                      A
it's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
        D*      A/C#*   Bm*    E7*    A*
for the great relief of having you to talk to.
