Capo 1st fret

E

I hear people laughin' on the corner by the square,

The neon flickers on my wall and I know you're out there.

      A                                                      E

I'm in your bed and listenin' for your footsteps down the hall,

                                          B7              E

And I'll be waitin' for you after the ball.

Chorus

E

After the ball is over, after the ball,

If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall.

       A                                                                    

The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock face to the wall.

          E                      B7             E

I'll be waitin' for you after the ball.

E

Lovin' you is sweet addiction, I need only you.

                                                                                      E7

Just as long as you come back, oh, do what you want to.

A                                                                                 E

Give the night your laughter, but I'll have you after all.

                                  B7              E

I'll be waitin' for you after the ball.
