Darlene...
C#m D
You waited as long as they expected you.
E A
Here's my apartment key.
C#m D
The Day of Decision, I've awaited you...
E
Just come in and wake me up.
[Chorus]
D E
Still a little undecided?
A G#m
Well, that's all right
F#m E
Darlene.
D E
And if you decide to go
E D
That's all right
D E
And if you never show
E
Still all right
D E
And if we decide to go through with things, that's
E
Surely all right--
[Verse]
A C#m
Darlene...
D
And everyone thinks that you're the crazy child.
E A
That's our little secret, I swear.
C#m
But we've played with the other
D
And the issue, now...
E
...And what a mighty-fine time it's been.
[Chorus]
D E
Still a little undecided?
A G#m
Well, that's all right
F#m E
Darlene.
D E
And if you decide to go
E
That's all right
D E
And if you never show
E D
Still all right
D E
And if we decide to go through with things, that's
E
Surely all right--
[Verse]
A
We're going out in a Blaze of Glory,
C#m D
I see the folly in our Own Life Stories, and
E
If the moment escapes, it will not let me down.
A
We're going out like a motion picture,
C#m D
don't run away, Boogie-man'll get ya', and
D E
If the moment, it fades, it will not let me down
E
It will not let me down.
[Bridge]
D E A G#m
I can hear you pacing down the halls...
F#m E D
Now...
D E
Pulling it together
E
Like it's Now or Never...
D E
Like it's Now or Never...
E
As if the timing's better...
D E
For us to get together
E
It's never Now or Never...
E
Darlene...
