G#m
Roses upon the dash

Puttin' rocks on my hand

Midnight, gettin' no reply
E
You love me from nine to five
     C#m                       F#
What happens when you say goodnight?

 G#m               E
I walked by your phone
                   C#m
Some chick I don't know
                    F#
Sayin', "Baby, I'm ready"

Chorus:

Hold up, just wait a minute

You say she's just an ex
But exes don't send those texts
"XO, baby, bye, bye, bye"
Bye, bye, I don't need your lyin'
Think I've had enough
Out here pourin' wine, so don't whine
'Cause it ain't gon' wind me up

I walked out your car
Then I slammed your heart
You said, "No, I'm not ready"

Chorus

Hold up, just wait a minute
Oh, ah
Hold up, just wait a minute

(Hold up)
Hold up, just wait a minute
