[Verse 1]
[tab]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

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
