B                                D#m
  I'm waitin' out, savin' all my precious time
E                           B
Losin' light, I'm missing my same old us
                      D#m
Before we learned our truth too late
  E
Resigned to fate, fadin' away
G#m                   B
  So tell me, can you turn around?
F#
  I need someone to tear me down
G#m                    B
  Oh, tell me, can you turn around?
F#
  But either way


[Chorus]
                  B
Hold me while you wait

Know that you are good enough (Hold me while you wait)
                                     G#m
Please don't give up when things get tough (Hold me while you wait)
                          F#
I know, I know, I know, I know
                      B
Won't you say a while?


[Verse 2]
B                                 D#m
  Tell me more, tell me something I don't know
    E
Did we come close to havin' it all?
G#m               B
  If you're gonna waste my time
F#
  Let's waste it right


[Chorus]
                      B
And hold me while you wait

Know that you are good enough (Hold me while you wait)
D#m                                    G#m
  Please don't give up when things get tough (Hold me while you wait)
                          F#
I know, I know, I know, I know
                                          B
Won't you say a while? (Hold me while you wait)
                                                  D#m
I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait)
                                                    G#m
I wish you'd told me this before (Hold me while you wait)
                           F#
My love, I know, I know, I know

Won't you say awhile?


[Bridge]
E                      F#
  This is you, this is me, this is all we need
G#m                       B             D#m
  Is it true? My faith is shaken, but I still believe
E                      F#
  This is you, this is me, this is all we need
G#m            B
  So won't you stay


[Chorus]
                      B
And hold me while you wait?
                                                 D#m
Know that you are good enough (Hold me while you wait)
                                                              G#m
Please don't give up when things get tough (Hold me while you wait)
                          F#
I know, I know, I know, I know
                                         B
Won't you say awhile? (Hold me while you wait)
                                                  D#m
I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait)
                                                    G#m
I wish you'd told me this before (Hold me while you wait)
                           F#
My love, I know, I know, I know
                                               B
Won't you please stay here? (Hold me while you wait)


[Outro]
                               D#m
Stay awhile (Hold me while you wait)

(This is you, this is me, this is all we need)
                               G#m
Stay awhile (Hold me while you wait)

(Is it true? My faith is shaken, but I still believe)

Stay awhile (Hold me while you wait)

(This is you, this is me, this is all we need)
                           F#
My love, I know, I know, I know
