Intro: B Verse 1: B Ebm I'm waiting up, saving all my precious time E B Losing light, I'm missing my same old us Ebm Before we learned our truth too late E Resigned to fate, fading away Abm B So tell me, can you turn around? Gb I need someone to tear me down Abm B Oh, tell me, can you turn around? Gb But either way Chorus: B Hold me while you wait Ebm I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait) Abm If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait) Gb My love, my love, my love, my love B Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait) Verse 2: B Ebm Tell me more, tell me something I don't know E Did we come close to having it all? Abm B If you're gonna waste my time Gb Let's waste it right Chorus: B And hold me while you wait Ebm I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait) Abm If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait) Gb My love, my love, my love, my love Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait B Ebm I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait) Abm I wish you'd told me this before (Hold me while you wait) Gb My love, my love, my love, my love Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait) Bridge: E Gb This is you, this is me, this is all we need Abm B Is it true? My faith is shaken, but I still believe E Gb This is you, this is me, this is all we need Abm So won't you stay a while? Chorus: B And hold me while you wait Ebm I wish that I was good enough (Hold me while you wait) Abm If only I could wake you up (Hold me while you wait) Gb My love, my love, my love, my love Won't you stay a while? (Hold me while you wait B Ebm I wish you cared a little more (Hold me while you wait) Abm I wish you'd told me this before (Hold me while you wait) Gb My love, my love, my love, my love B Won't you stay a while?

+1 is pretty easy and it sounds good. Also the strumming pattern on the chorus is D d d D d d (D meaning enfasis on down strum) and on verse and bridge being slower less emphasized ddd s.
+1 is way easier
Ebm is just upside down B
this song gives me chills everytime. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
This is the easiest thing to play
