Intro : C Am F C 

        C                           Am 
V1      I don't know where you came from 
        F                            C 
        but I do know that I'm not alone 
        C                          Am 
        be sure that I love you darling 
        F                              C 
        even though sometimes we won't get along 

        there's not a day that passes by, my dear 

        that I don't think of the first night we spoke 

        and those words are staying upon your skin 

        along with that precious smile of hope 

                C                            Am 
CH              that's why I'm like wait, wait, wait 
                F                            C 
                don't you know I could be your home? 
                C                 Am 
                I'm like wait, wait, wait 
                F                      C 
                cause nobody wants to be alone 

V2      lying there on the kitchen floor                (same as V1) 

        were the last signs of a helpless soul 

        and she knew that he would die right then 

        and so she held him until the last breath grew old 

        and so she cried as her darling slept 

        in between her arms, slid to the floor 

        and then she screamed out into the cold, cold night 

        oh my God, please don't go 

CH              she was like, wait, wait, wait 

                I love you more than you know 

                she was like, wait, wait, wait 

                I don't wanna be alone 

                oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (ahem) 

                that's why I'm like, wait, wait, wait
