        C#
I came home
         F#
Like a stone
            C#             G#
And I fell heavy into your arms
               C#
These days of dust
              F#
Which we've known
           C#                G#
Will blow away with this new sun

    A#m   G#/C  C#
And I'll kneel down
 F#   C#  G#
Wait for now
   A#m   G#/C   C#
And I'll kneel down
 F#  C#   G#
Know my ground

Chorus:
C#                            Fm  G#
I will wait, I will wait for you!
    C#                           Fm  G#
And I will wait, I will wait for you!

So break my step
And relent
Well you forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess

Chorus;
'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

So I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind, freed from the lies

But I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow

Chorus:
'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
