F Fmaj7 Am G
Verse:
F
Hey, God. It's me
Fmaj7
I been lost a little while
Am
Walking all these miles
G
And I'm in need
F
Of some direction
Fmaj7
'Cause down here it's getting hard
Am
I been searching near and far
G
Help me believe
Chorus:
F
You wait for me
Fmaj7
If I'm taking the long way home
Stuck on the same old dead-end road
Am
I wanna leave the life I know
But when I just can't let go
F
You wait for me
You keep on holding on
Fmaj7
'Cause Heaven knows I'm not that strong
Am
I'm sorry it took so long
I was taking the long way home
F Fmaj7
But You wait for me
Am G
Oh. You wait for me
Verse:
Fmaj7
Oh. Now, I see
I should've asked You years ago
Am
But my heart was full of stones
G
And disbelief
Fmaj7
But You were patient
While You washed away my doubt
Am
When You laid that road map out
G
Your path was straighter
Chorus:
F
You wait for me
If I'm taking the long way home
Fmaj7
Stuck on the same old dead-end road
Am
I wanna leave the life I know
But when I just can't let go
F
You wait for me
Fmaj7
You keep on holding on
F
Heaven knows I'm not that strong
Am
I'm sorry it took so long
I was taking the long way home
F
But You wait for me
Fmaj7 Am
Ohhhh, You wait for me
G
You wait for me
Bridge:
F
Every twist and every turn
Every lesson that I learn
Am G
Every step I take, You always make a way
F
If I stumble when I fall
Fmaj7
If my walk becomes a crawl
Am G
You carry me when I can't find my strength
Ooooohhh
Chorus:
F
You wait for me
If I'm taking the long way home (long way home)
Fmaj7
Stuck on the same old dead-end road
Am
I wanna leave the life I know
But when I just can't let go
F
You wait for me
You keep on holding on (holding on)
Fmaj7
'Cause Heaven knows I'm not that strong (not that strong)
Am
I'm sorry it took so long
I was taking the long way home
F
But You wait for me
Am
Ohhhh, Ohhhhh You wait for me
G
You wait for me

F
'Cause You wait for me
