Chorus:
                G
Heartbreak can wait
                         Em
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
         C
Yeah I know I gotta do this
                                  D
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone

  G
Still haven't made it up the PCH
 Em
Still haven't kissed you in the pourin' rain
 C
Birthday 'round the corner, couple weeks away
        D
So I'm holdin' off
  G
Things are goin' good, but they're not goin' great
 Em
You've been workin' hard and I've been workin' late
     C
The words that I've been thinkin'
I don't really wanna say
        D
So I'm holdin' off

Chorus:
                G
Heartbreak can wait
                         Em
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
         C
Yeah I know I gotta do this
                                  D
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
                G
Heartbreak can wait
                   Em
But I don't wanna waste your time
          C
So I'mma take your hand and hold it like
I'm never lettin' go
          D
Before I say goodbye

(Heartbreak can wait)


[Verse 2]
G
Haven't slept a second in the last seven nights
Em
Livin' in my head, I'm rehearsin' every line
C
I know that there's no way that we're not gonna cry
       D
So I'm holdin' off

                  Am
Desperate for my soul to softly say
                D
"It's okay to stay a few more days"

Chorus

 G
Wait a second, I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Em
Why is it the ones you love,
the ones you hurt the most
 C
Went as far as I can run but now I'm out of road
   D
I gotta let you know, I gotta let you know
 G
Wait a second,
I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Em
Why is it the ones you love,
the ones you hurt the most
 C
Went as far as I can run but now I'm out of road
   D
I gotta let you know

Chorus:
                    G
But heartbreak can wait
                         Em
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
         C
Yeah I know I gotta do this
                                  D
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
