[Intro]
C


[Verse 1]
C                               G
  I'm waitin' up, savin' all my precious time
Am                          C
Losin' light, I'm missin' my same old us
                      G
Before we learned our truth too late
   Am
Resigned to fate, fadin' away
Am                    G
  So tell me, can you turn around?
C               G
  I need someone to tear me down
Am                     C
  Oh, tell me, can you turn around?
G
  But either way


[Chorus]
                  C
Hold me while you wait
                        G
I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)
                         Am
If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)
                              G
My love, my love, my love, my love
                                           C
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)


[Verse 2]
C                                 G
  Tell me more, tell me something I don't know
      Am                         G
Could we come close to havin' it all?
                Am
If you're gonna waste my time
G
  Let's waste it right


[Chorus]
                      C
And hold me while you wait
                        G
I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)
                         Am
If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)
                              G
My love, my love, my love, my love
                 C
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)
                          G
I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait)
                            Am
I wish you'd told me this before (Hold me while you wait)
                              G
My love, my love, my love, my love
                      
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)


[Bridge]
Am                     G
  This is you, this is me, this is all we need
C                         G
  Is it true? My faith is shaken, but I still believe
Am                     G
  This is you, this is me, this is all we need
C              G
  So won't you stay a while?


[Chorus]
                      C
And hold me while you wait
                        G
I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)
                         Am
If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)
                              G
My love, my love, my love, my love
                 C
Won't you stay a while?
                          G
I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait)
                            Am
I wish you'd told me this before (Hold me while you wait)
                              G
My love, my love, my love, my love
                      
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)


[Outro]
C
Stay a while (Hold me while you wait)

(My faith is shaken, but I still believe)
G
Stay a while (Hold me while you wait)
Am
My love, my love, my love
G
Won't you stay a while?
