[Verse I]
Bm                           G
I know that you're ready to go
   A             A
But stay a while and fake a smile
Bm                           G
I know that you're ready to go
   A             A
Cause there you lay and stare away

Bm                                       G
Out the window, the houses through the groves
                                A              A
And to the mountains down the road
Bm                          
I will follow in your footsteps
       G                               A       A
When I walk away the sadness in the snow

[Chorus]
     Bm
Don't go
D
I need you to be waiting for me
A                 G
Every time I'm home
     Bm
Don't go
D                                  A                   G
I'll be right beside you when you rest your broken bones
    Bm
Don't go

G | A | A

[Verse II]
Bm                           G
I know that you're ready to go
     A              A
The sky above, the soaring dove
Bm                          G
I don't think I'm ready to go
A                A
Here alone, you are the stone

Bm                      
That holds me in position
            G             
With your calm and steady wisdom
           A      A
Don't you walk away
        Bm
I will be there in the morning

          G                            A      A
At the sunrise if you promise to be strong

[Chorus]
     Bm
Don't go
D
I need you to be waiting for me
A                 G
Every time I'm home
     Bm
Don't go
D                                  A                   G
I'll be right beside you when you rest your broken bones
     Bm
Don't go

G | A | A

[Bridge]
             Bm
How could I slow down time
        D
As the waters climb
         A         
Had your hand in mine
G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
           Bm
How can I know new life
         D
As the waters rise
           A
I'll just close my eyes
G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Chorus] x2
     Bm
Don't go
D
I need you to be waiting for me
A                 G
Every time I'm home
     Bm
Don't go
D                                  A                   G
I'll be right beside you when you rest your broken bones
     Bm
Don't go
