E                    C#m
You will say you're dreaming up a way
        A                     E
You're dreaming up a way to explode
                      C#m
There's a time you'll seek out a disguise
      A                             E
When you think people hate you the most
                    C#m
And it gets worse before it gets better
       A                              E
That's one thing that I have come to know
              C#m A
Just so you know


[Chorus]
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             C#m
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             C#m                 E C#m A
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

[Verse 2]
E                  C#m
All the things you don't wanna let go
     A                       E
You wanna look back on and recall
 E                   C#m
All the times that feel like everything
      A                        E
When nothing really happens at all
  E
They're still here
        C#m
Oh, in that important room
       A                           E
We've got your pictures up on the wall
           E  C#m A
Up on the wall


[Chorus]
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             C#m
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             C#m
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             C#m
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             C#m
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

E  F#m  B  A E   F#m  B
E A F#m
E A F#m
E A F#m

[Bridge]
A
 Break a promise to your ex
E
(Nothing happens)
A
You are terrified of sex
E
(Nothing happens)
A
The first time is humiliating
E
(Nothing happens)
A
Something you'll want to forget
E
(Nothing happens)
A
Your parents will eventually separate
E
(Nothing happens)
A
Dad's stuff in trash bags and in the pool
E
(Nothing happens)
A
Oh guess what? You have a sister now
E
(Nothing happens)
A
And as you go on and shit gets hard, don't worry about me


[Outro]
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

(You're ready and you know it)
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

(Something you'll always remember)
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

(Your parents will end up where they belong)
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

(They'll eventually talk again, though)
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

(When shit gets hard, don't worry about me)
E A
Oh
E A
Oh
E A
Oh
