Verse 1:
D6
  If only I could wait
G6                   D6
  But before me is a ways out, can I live inside this state?
                                 G6
Where the summers are charades now
                                                Bm7
Can I incur the weight? Am I really this afraid now?

Refrain:
       Em7
Ah, ahh
           D6
For what's at stake
    A6
Oh, babe
          Bm7     G6
I'll take the pain

Bm A Bm Em7 Bm A Bm Em7 Bm A Bm Em7 Bm A Bm Em7 Bm

Verse 2:
D6
  If only you could wait
                        G6
I ain't up at your pace yet
                                                        D6
I take the steps to stage and they hit me with the rays now
                                                    G6
But if I could only pray in the blaze of a northern bar
                                                       D6
I'd bend another straight, we'll decay in other ways now

Verse 3:
D6
If only you could wait (I, I know that it's hard)
                           G6
Or is it folded either way now? (To keep holding)
    G6
The common leads away (Keep holding strong)
                             D6
But is it only years away now? (Keep holding on)
       D6
I have come to learn replace (I, I know that it's best)
                     Bm7
And I resemble other traits of the Lord (To keep going)
       Bm7
I have rendered other fates (These memories hold)
                              Bm7
And I've been prowling on the brakes now (These memories fade)

Refrain:
       Em7
Ah, ahh
           D6
But what a taste
    A/C#
Oh, babe
    Bm7
In every way
            G
Not for the freight
           D6
I'll best alone
   A/C#     Bm7
In high ways
         G D
Mm-hmm-mm
