[Verse 1]
         [A]
Well I'm standing here freezing
   [E7sus4]
Inside your golden garden
[A]                       [E7sus4]
   Got my ladder leaned up against your wall
   [A]                    [E7sus4]
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
[A]                              [E7sus4]
Come on Dolly Mae there's no time to stall
[A/C#]
But now you're telling me
 
[Chorus 1]
[E]                              [Gadd9]
  I think we better wait 'till tomorrow
Yeah, yeah,
[E]                              [Gadd9]
  I think we better wait 'till tomorrow
Girl what you talkin' about
[E]                              [Gadd9]
  I think we better wait 'till tomorrow
[E]
Got to make sure it's right
N.C.
So until tomorrow goodnight (Oh what a drag)
 
[Quick intermezzo]

[Verse 2]
[A]                           [E7sus4]
  Oh Dolly Mae, how can you hang me out this way
[A]                                       [E7sus4]
  On the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
          [A]
 Now I'm standing here like some
            [E7sus4]
Turned down serenading fool
[A]                                    [E7sus4]
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed-up mind of you
[A/C#]
And you keep telling me that ah
 
[Chorus 2]
[E]                             [Gadd9]
I think we better wait till tomorrow,
What are you talkin' about
[E]                             [Gadd9]
I think we better wait till tomorrow,
Ah, I can't wait that long
[E]                             [Gadd9]
I think we better wait till tomorrow,
[E]
Got to make sure it's right so until tomorrow goodnight
N.C.
(See if I can talk to this girl a little bit)
 
[Verse 3]
[A]                      [E7sus4]
Ow, Dolly Mae girl you must be insane
[A]
So unsure of yourself
                 [E7sus4]
Leaning from you unsure window pane
[A]                                  [E7sus4]
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing
Something from a tree
[A]                                [E7sus4]
Click bang, Oh what a hang. your daddy just shot poor me
[A/C#]
(And I hear you say as I fade away)
 
[Chorus 4]
[E]                             [Gadd9]
We don't have to wait till tomorrow, Hey
[E]                             [Gadd9]
We don't have to wait till tomorrow, What you say
[E]                             [Gadd9]
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
[E]
It must not have been right so forever goodnight
[E]                             [Gadd9]
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
[E]                             [Gadd9]
Do I have to wait do I have to wait
[E]                             [Gadd9]
We don't have to wait till tomorrow (It's a drag on my part)
[E]                             [Gadd9]
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
N.C.
Don't have to wait don't have to wait
