Intro: Am  G  C  F  C  G 

C 
Well I came home 
         F 
Like a stone 
             C              G 
And I fell heavy into your arms 
               C 
These days of dust 
              F 
Which we've known 
          C                  G 
Will blow away with this new sun 

Am    G         C 
And I'll kneel down 
  F   C   G 
Wait for now 
    Am    G     C 
And I'll kneel down 
  F   C   G 
Know my ground 

C 
And I will wait, 
                   Em  G 
I will wait for you 
C 
And I will wait, 
                   Em  G 
I will wait for you 

( C ) 

C 
So break my step 
      F 
And relent 
      C                    G 
You forgave and I won't forget 
                C 
Know what we've seen 
             F 
And him with less 
            C                 G 
Now in some way, shake the excess 

C 
Cause I will wait, 
                   Em  G 
I will wait for you 
C 
And I will wait, 
                   Em  G 
I will wait for you 
C 
And I will wait, 
                   Em  G 
I will wait for you 
C 
And I will wait, 
                   Em  G 
I will wait for you 

C 
Now I'll be bold 
            F 
As well as strong 
        C                G 
Use my head alongside my heart 
           C 
So take my flesh 
           F 
And fix my eyes 
              C                  G 
That tethered mind free from the lies 

Am   G     C 
And I'll kneel down 
F    C   G 
Wait for now 
    Am   G     C 
I'll kneel down 
F    C   G 
Know my ground 

( C  G  Am   F  C  G )   2x 

 C    G   Am 
Raise my hands 
  F        C      G 
Paint my spirit gold 
  C   G     Am 
And bow my head 
  F       C     G 
Keep my heart slow 

C 
Cause I will wait, 
                   Em  G 
I will wait for you 
C 
And I will wait, 
                   Em  G 
I will wait for you 
C 
And I will wait, 
                   Em  G 
I will wait for you 
C 
And I will wait, 
                   Em  G    C 
I will wait for you
