Capo on the 3rd fret.
[Intro] Em G D A
[Verse 1]
Em G
There's an old man living in the back of you woods tonight.
D A
You forgot he was even there, but you've never slipped his mind.
Em G
He's living off of scraps of you, you never knew you left behind.
D A
And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile.
[Chorus]
A C
He's waiting on the night to fall.
G
The old man's coming to call,
D Em
But you don's see the writing on the wall.
C
He'll never step out in the light;
G
no he's just biding time.
D B
And while you slumber, hes gonna come and take it all.
C
He's waiting on the night to fall,
G D A
He's waiting on the night to fall.
[Verse 2]
Em G
He knows you have the answers but truth lies dusty on your shelf.
D A
And the sword that you could slay him with has become an ornament
and nothing else.
Em
You could put him back down in his hole in the ground,
G
but he knows you never will.
D A
He's been around so long, you got used to the smell.
[Chorus]
A C
He's waiting on the night to fall.
G
The old man's coming to call,
D Em
But you don's see the writing on the wall.
C

He's waiting on the night to fall,

He's waiting on the night to fall.
[Bridge]
C Em
He knows he'll never have your soul, but he will gladly rob you blind.
D A
While you feasting at his table he'll tie you hands and numb you mind.
C Em
He'll take you farther than you want to go, he'll keep you longer
D
than you wan to stay. And it will cost you
A
more than you'd ever thought you'd pay.
[Chorus]
A C
He's waiting on the night to fall.

And while you slumber, hes gonna come and take it all.
