C#m   G#m
Don't wait for me
         H G#m                 C#m
I'm not going, because I can't leave

[Verse 1]
C#m                                  E
I watch for years your strength your pride
                                      H
You held the doors as life passed you by
G#m                  C#m
Life just passed you by

C#m                      E
Now I can tell you wanna go
                             H 
Don't think of me, because I can't go
G#m                C#m  
You gotta take the highs with the lows

[Chorus]
   C#m        G#m
So don't wait for me
        H      G#m             C#m 
I'm not going, because I can't leave
    C#m                       G#m
And don't, don't you dare say no
     H     G#m           C#m
Just because you love me so

[Verse 2]
C#m                              E
Take with you all the things you had
                              H   G#m
Just be yourself and don't be sad
                       C#m
Because there's bigger seeds to sow

C#m                                  E
I'll be beside you every step of the way
                         H      G#m
I'll hold you up when go astray
                      C#m
Don't worry, it'll be okay

[Chorus]
   C#m        G#m
So don't wait for me
        H      G#m             C#m 
I'm not going, because I can't leave
    C#m                       G#m
And don't, don't you dare say no
     H     G#m           C#m
Just because you love me so
