G7                       C
You were streets ahead, I couldn't sleep a wink,
               G7                         C
staring in the dark, by the light of your skin.
          D                C
At myself sitting on a suitcase
                   F              A
or as the sleeping youth in the upset sleigh.

[Chorus]
     G                            D                   A           A
They don't wait, they won't wait,   they run with the weather.
     G          D          A          A
They don't wait.

[Verse 2]
                G7                    C
Listen, you can hear the sound of the sleigh,
                   G7                   C
the panting of the team of all runners away.
                   D              C
And all the gentle work of the traces,
                    F                A
their jingle-jangle jerk, destroying all space.

[Chorus]
     G                            D                   A          A
They don't wait, they won't wait,   they run with the weather.
     G          D          A          A
They don't wait.
     G                            D             A            A
They don't wait, they won't wait,   just stay together.
     G          D          E          E
They don't wait.

just stay together.

[Chorus]
     G                            D                   A          A
They don't wait, they won't wait,   they run with the weather.
     G          D          A          A
They don't wait.
     G                            D             A            A
They don't wait, they won't wait,   just stay together.
     G          D          E          E
They don't wait.

[Outro]
F          D          A          A                     
Wait.
F          D          A          A                     
Wait.
F          D          A          A                     
Wait.

Wait.                 Please,
     D    D A
just stay together.
