          F#  C#               G#  A#m
These mistakes, i've made my fair share
          F#      C#   G#      A#m
When you needed me, i wasn't there
      F#                       C#
I was young, i was dumb, i was so immature
          G#                      A#m
And the things that i did made you so insecure
      F# C#                G#     A#m
But, baby, i'm still your man, i swear

Chorus:
F#     C#  G#         A#m
Please be patient with me
F#     C#  G#         A#m
Please be patient with me
   D#m                  C#
I know i'm not what you need
      F              A#m
But, baby, i'm gonna be
    F#  C#/F G#         A#m
So please be patient with me

Is it too much (Is it too much?)
that I'm askin' for?
Can we start over? (Can we start over? Yeah)
Can we end this war?
I’ve been takin' your love,
I've been wastin' your time
But is there still a chance
of me changin' your mind?
Before you (Yeah) go walkin' out the door

Oh, you know I'm not perfect
If you leave, I deserve it
But baby, all I'm askin' you is please, please (Oh)

Chorus:
Please be patient with me (Patient with me)
Please be patient with me (Patient with me)
I know I'm not what you need (I know I'm not what you need)
But baby, I'm gonna be (Baby, I'm gonna be)
So please be patient with me (Patient with me)

F#m
Oh, you don't wanna wait another minute
                             C#m
You don't wanna wait another night
F#m                                           C#m
Just trust me, just trust me, just trust me, baby
F#m
You don't wanna wait another minute, no
                      C#m
You don't wanna wait another night
F#m                         G#
Just trust me, just trust me, just trust me, baby

Chorus:
Please be patient with me
Please be patient with me
I know I'm not what you need
But baby, I'm gonna be
So, please be patient with me
Please be patient with me (Patient with me)
Please be patient with me, yeah
I know I'm not what you need (I know I'm not what you need)
But baby, I'm gonna be
So please be patient with me
