verse 1
G D A Bm
When he calls you, you don't have to answer right away
G D A
Make him wait
G D A Bm
And when he small talks before he asks you on a date
G D A
Make him wait
Bm A
When his Pontiac's in the driveway and his eyes are midnight blue
G Em
Take a deep breath and do the opposite of what you wanna do
G D
Make him wait, by the phone
A Bm
At the door to meet your dad
G D A
Before that first kiss he's gotta hold your hand
G D A Bm
You can't get it back when you give yourself away
G D A
Yeah a boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay
G D A Bm
Girl make him wait
G D A
Mmmm make him wait
verse 2
G D A Bm G
And when he says that, it'd be easier if you just stayed the night
D A
Make him wait (mhmmm)
G D A Bm
You're gonna wanna, and you think that you just might
G D A
But make him wait, oohhhhh
G D
Make him wait, by the phone
A Bm
At the door to meet your dad
G D A
Before that first kiss he's gotta hold your hand
G D A Bm
You can't get it back when you give yourself away
G D A
Yeah a boy's gonna run but a real man's gonna stay
G D A Bm
Girl make him wait
G D A
Ohhhh make him wait
BRIDGE
G D A
They taught me that love is worth the weight in gold
D A
Like that ring on your hand, so
G Bm
When you find the one, the stayin' kind
Asus2 A
Then he won't mind...
G D
If you make him wait, in his tux
A Bm
Cellos sing you down the aisle
G D A
Walk slow, take your time, while your daddy cries and your mama smiles
G D A Bm
And they're throwin' rice in the air and those tin cans roll away
G D Asus2 A
And you look into his eyes, and realize it was worth the while
G D A Bm
To make him wait
G D A
Make him wait
