[Verse 1]
    C G   F   C           C
And so, Annie waits Annie waits
      | C    G  F | C |
Annie waits
    G/B Am  G      | D   G/D | D   G/D D |
For a   call from a friend

[Verse 2]
    C    G    F   C
The same it's the same 
       C         | C    G  F | C |
Was it always the same?
  G/B  Am   G         | N.C. |
Annie waits ... for the last ...

[Interlude]

Time           oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
    C     G F   C
The clock never stops, never stops
G     | C    G  F | C |
Never waits
         G/B  Am  G            | D   G/D | D   G/D D |
She's growing old, it's getting late

[Bridge] 
    F         G
And so, he forgot
                 Am
he forgot, maybe not
D                         F
Maybe he's been seriously hurt
G               | C    G  F | C |
 Would that'd be worse

[Middle 8]
Gm         Dm
Headlights crest the hills
F                C             Gm
Shadows pass her by and out of sight
Bb      | F | C |
  Ooh Ooh
Gm    Dm
Annie sleeps and dreams
F              C             | Gm | Bb | % |
 Friday bingo, pigeons in the park

[Verse 4]
C     G     F      | C        G  F | C |
Annie waits for the last time
C        G   F       C
Just the same as the last time
  G/B Am         F
Annie says, "You see
        C              G  [ Am ]
This is why I'd rather be alone"

[Middle 8]
Gm         Dm
Headlights crest the hills

 Who will be the one forever more?

   Who ooh
Gm    Dm
Annie I could be
F                    C                | Gm | Bb |
 If we're both still lonely when we're old

Annie waits for the last time
C        G   F       | C        G  F | C |
Just the same as the last time        (Annie waits)

But not for me
