[Intro]
[Strophe]
B                                D#m 
I'm waiting up, saving all my precious time
E                           B 
Losing light, I'm missing my same old us
                       D#m 
Before we learned our truth too late
    E 
Resigned to fate, fading 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
[Refrain]
                   B 
Hold me while you wait
                         D#m 
I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)
                        G#m 
If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)
                               F# 
My love, my love, my love, my love
                   B 
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)
[Strophe]
B                              D#m 
Tell me more, tell me something I don't know
       E 
Did we come close to having it all?
G#m               B 
If you're gonna waste my time
F# 
Let's waste it right
[Refrain]
                       B 
And hold me while you wait
                         D#m 
I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)
                        G#m 
If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)
                               F# 
My love, my love, my love, my love
  
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)
B                          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, my love, my love, my love
  
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)
[Pont]
  E                    F# 
This is you, this is me, this is all we need
G#m                      B 
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 
So won't you stay a while?
[Refrain]
                       B 
And hold me while you wait
                         D#m 
I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait)
                        G#m 
If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait)
                               F# 
My love, my love, my love, my love
  
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)
B                          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, my love, my love, my love
                   B 
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)
[Outro]
        D#m 
Stay a while (Hold me while you wait)
        G#m 
Stay a while (Hold me while you wait)
                     F# 
My love, my love, my love
                   B 
Won't you stay a while?
