EmBaby, Amstay with me, you D/F#know I will never give Emup
EmSometimes when the Amrain falls down I D/F#wait there until it is Emdone
AmPatiently I wait for Cthee, prayers for me ain't D/F#enough 
AmSo many waterways Cleading out Why'd we give it D/F#up?
Your Gboat goes D/F#by, down to the AmwaterfallC  
And the Gtime goes D/F#by, like trees on the AmriverbanksC  
And your Gtime, rushing D/F#by, down to the Amwaterfall
I hear you call, I Cknow you'd sound amazed if you'd
GHold on to your lovD/F#e
It might not be Amcoming backC  
GHold on to your lovD/F#e
It might not be Amcoming backC  
EmBaby, I didn't mAmean to come. Have D/F#I interrupted your Emfun?
EmMaybe, if AmI could've known I would have D/F#waited until it was dEmone
AmImpatiently, I wait for Cthee, "Pray for me" ain't eD/F#nough
AmSo many waterways Cleading out Why'd we give it D/F#up?
Your Gboat goes D/F#by, down to the AmwaterfallC  
And the Gtime goes D/F#by, like trees on the AmriverbanksC  
And your Gtime, rushing D/F#by, down to the Amwaterfall
I hear you call, I Cknow you'd sound amazed if you'd
GHold on to your lovD/F#e
It might not be Amcoming backC  
GHold on to your lovD/F#e
It might not be Amcoming backC  
BREAK:

GWipe off your tears, D/F#Pick up your feet
Cause you got Ammiles and miles and miles and miles to Cgo yet
GIf anyone makes you feel, you've been D/F#waiting too long
Oh, I've been Amwaiting for you, I been Cwaiting for you
