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

Chorus:
                   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)

Tell me more, tell me something I don't know
Did we come close to havin' it all?
If you're gonna waste my time
Let's waste it right

Chorus:
And hold me while you wait
I wish that I was good enough
(Hold me while you wait)
If only I could wake you up
(Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?
(Hold me while you wait)
I wish you cared a little more
(Hold me while you wait)
I wish you'd told me this before
(Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?
(Hold me while you wait)

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?

Chorus:
And hold me while you wait
I wish that I was good enough
(Hold me while you wait)
If only I could wake you up
(Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?
(Hold me while you wait)
I wish you cared a little more
(Hold me while you wait)
I wish you'd told me this before
(Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?
(Hold me while you wait)

Stay a while (Hold me while you wait)
(My faith is shaken, but I still believe)
Stay a while (Hold me while you wait)
My love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while?
