[Primera Parte] 

C                             G
I'm waitin' up, savin' all my precious time
Am                           C
Losin' light, I'm missin' my same old us
                      G
Before we learned our truth too late
   Am
Resigned to fate, fadin' away
Am          C
So tell me, can you turn around?
G              
I need someone to tear me down
Am                   C
Oh, tell me, can you turn around?
G
But either way
  
[Estribillo] 

                      C
Hold me while you wait
                              G
I wish that I was good enough (hold me while you wait)
                           Am
If only I could wake you up (hold me while you wait)
                                  G
My love, my love, my love, my love
                        C
Won't you stay a while? (hold me while you wait)
  
[Segunda Parte] 

C                               G
Tell me more, tell me something I don't know
Am                     G
Could we come close to havin' it all?
Am
If you're gonna waste my time
G
Let's waste it right
  
[Estribillo] 

                          C
And hold me while you wait
                            G
I wish that I was good enough (hold me while you wait)
                           Am
If only I could wake you up (hold me while you wait)
                                  G
My love, my love, my love, my love
                      C
Won't you stay a while? (hold me while you wait)
                              G
I wish you cared a little more (hold me while you wait)
                               Am
I wish you'd told me this before (hold me while you wait)
                                 G
My love, my love, my love, my love
                      C
Won't you stay a while? (hold me while you wait) 
 
[Puente] 

Am                  G
This is you, this is me, this is all we need
C                        G
Is it true? My faith is shaken, but I still believe
Am                   G
This is you, this is me, this is all we need
C             G
So won't you stay a while?

My love, my love, my love, my love
G
Won't you stay a while? (hold me while you wait)

I wish you cared a little more (hold me while you wait)
