          B
I've been on this road a long time
            E
I've been travellin' for days
        B
But it seems I'm getting nowhere
        E
I just can't find my way
           B
I've beenfollowing directions
            E
But they must be out of date
       B
And I can't, and I can't, and I can't, no I can't
   E
Decide which road to take

          A
See I've got to find my baby
            E
Because we need to work things out
            A
I've got to see that woman
   D            E
I cannot do without her!

Chorus:
            B        A                     B    A
You know I can't wait, can't wait another moment
   B        A                       B       A
I can't wait, I can't wait another heartbeat
      B        A                     B    A
No I can't wait, can't wait another moment
                         B       A
I couldn't wait another heartbeat
                    B      E
I can't wait until midnight

And the nights go on forever
These days I get no sleep
And I miss her more than ever
Inside where love runs deep
Oh I know I'm going to find her
Cause I'm following this star
And I can't, and I can't, no I can't turn back
Oh lord, I've come so far

And I'll know she'll whisper in my ear
About all the things I've missed
She's got that way about her now
I never could resist

Chorus

      B        A
No I can't wait
I can't wait another moment
I couldn't wait another heartbeat
I can't wait until the midnight

Now I can't wait
No no no can't wait
No no no
Can't wait
No no no
Can't wait
