Capo 2nd fret (or play open in the key of A)
Verse 1:
GThere are days I can recall
CYou and me and a wrecking ball
GHow the buildings' walls would crumble
DWe would dance upon the rubble
GI still have some storied scars
CFrom drunken brawls outside the bar
GThat was all before we'd grown
DBut boy, we sure could hold our own
Prechorus:
EmSomewhere down the line you went and changed your mind
CFound some other things to help you waste your time
Now Gyou said goodbye to all you kDnew
Went Amdiving in the water though it's cold as ice
Are you rEmeaching out for me and praying I could save your lGife, that I could save your lDife?
Chorus:
BmI won't Cwait for you
GNothing that you said ever made me want to
BmI won't Cwait for youG  
BmI won't Cwait for you
GNothing that you've done ever made me want to
BmI won't Cwait for yoCmu
Verse 2:
GTowers tumbling to the ground
CYou gave the word I tore them down
GEntire cities blown apart
From Dtime bombs we disguised as hearts
GYou could not be satisfied
CMischief burning in your eyes
GKicking open every door
And Dalways crying out for more
Prechorus:
EmSomewhere down the line you went and changed your mind
CFound some other things to help you waste your time
Now Gyou said goodbye to all you kDnew
I'm tAmhinking what you're needing is some holy ghost
RemEmind you how you said that it was love you loved the mGost, love you love the mDost
Chorus:
BmI won't Cwait for you
GNothing that you said ever made me want to
BmI won't Cwait for youG  
BmI won't Cwait for you
GNothing that you've done ever made me want to
BmI won't Cwait for yoCmu
Bridge/Mandolin Break:

I'm tAmhinking what you're needing is some holy ghost
RemEmind you how you said that it was love you loved the mGost, love you love the mDost

Capo 2nd fret (or play open in the key of A)

Verse 1:

There are days I can recall

You and me and a wrecking ball

How the buildings' walls would crumble

We would dance upon the rubble

I still have some storied scars

From drunken brawls outside the bar

That was all before we'd grown

But boy, we sure could hold our own

Prechorus:

Somewhere down the line you went and changed your mind

Found some other things to help you waste your time

G D

Now you said goodbye to all you knew

Went diving in the water though it's cold as ice

Em G D

Are you reaching out for me and praying I could save your life, that I could save your life?

Chorus:

Bm C

I won't wait for you

Nothing that you said ever made me want to

Bm C G

I won't wait for you

Bm C

I won't wait for you

Nothing that you've done ever made me want to

Bm C Cm

I won't wait for you

Verse 2:

Towers tumbling to the ground

You gave the word I tore them down

Entire cities blown apart

From time bombs we disguised as hearts

You could not be satisfied

Mischief burning in your eyes

Kicking open every door

And always crying out for more

Prechorus:

Somewhere down the line you went and changed your mind

Found some other things to help you waste your time

G D

Now you said goodbye to all you knew

I'm thinking what you're needing is some holy ghost

Em G D

Remind you how you said that it was love you loved the most, love you love the most

Chorus:

Bm C

I won't wait for you

Nothing that you said ever made me want to

Bm C G

I won't wait for you

Bm C

I won't wait for you

Nothing that you've done ever made me want to

Bm C Cm

I won't wait for you
