[Intro]
B
[Verse 1]
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)
[Verse 2] 
B                                 D#m
  Tell me more, tell me something I don't know
    E
Did we come close to having it all?
G#m               B
  If you're gonna waste my time
F#
  Let's waste it right
[Chorus]
                       B
And 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)
                           D#m
I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait)
                            G#m
I wish you'd told me this before (Hold me while you wait)
                              F#
My love, my love, my love, my love
Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait)
[Bridge]
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]
                       B
And 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)
                           D#m
I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait)
                            G#m
I wish you'd told me this before (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)
[Outro]
        D#m
Stay a while (Hold me while you wait)
        G#m
Stay a while (Hold me while you wait)
                     F#
My love, my love, my love
