I'm not telling you to wait on me
A B
I'm not telling you to wait on me, no

I'm not telling you to wait,

but I'm hoping that you'll wait

I know this may not be my place
Abm B
But I got something I should say to you

Sometimes I'm in a different space

But that don't change the way I feel for you, I do

This may not be the best time
Abm B
I got a lot going inside my mind
Dbm
Don't think for a minute that I'm a fool
B
Don't know what I'll do if I lose you
Pre-Chorus
A
You need someone who will be there to hold you
E
I can't even say that it's fair, but I do
Dbm
Hope you know I'll always be here if you need me

What I gotta say isn't easy
A
If you gotta leave
B
Girl, I won't stop you, so do what you gotta do

I don't want you to go

I'm not telling you to wait
Dbm E
I'm not telling you to wait on me

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
VERSE

I told you when I met you girl
A
that I would need patience
Abm B
You said that you understood

so I thought that you could take it

We have a real good thing
B
Nothing should come between us
A
Now you want some things I never promised

You say something missing, I was always honest
Dbm
Telling you the way that I felt for you
B
Could be something real that I never knew
