Intro - x2 -: Dbm    B    E A E B--

Verse:
E
Well I came home
         A
Like a stone
             E              B
And I fell heavy into your arms
               E
These days of dust
              A
Which we've known
          E                  B
Will blow away with this new sun

Pre-Chorus:
Dbm    B         E
And I'll kneel down 
  A   E   B
Wait for now
    Dbm    B     E
And I'll kneel down
  A   E   B
Know my ground

Chorus:
E
And I will wait, 
                   Abm  B
I will wait for you
E
And I will wait, 
                   Abm  B
I will wait for you

Interlude - x4 -: E

Verse:
E
So break my step
      A
And relent
      E                    B
You forgave and I won't forget
                E
Know what we've seen
             A
And him with less
            E                 B  
Now in some way, shake the excess

Chorus:
E
Cause I will wait, 
                   Abm  B
I will wait for you
E
And I will wait, 
                   Abm  B
I will wait for you
E
And I will wait, 
                   Abm  B
I will wait for you
E
And I will wait, 
                   Abm  B
I will wait for you

Verse:
E
Now I'll be bold
            A
As well as strong
        E                B  
Use my head alongside my heart
           E
So take my flesh
           A
And fix my eyes
              E                  B
That tethered mind free from the lies

Pre-Chorus:
Dbm   B     E
And I'll kneel down
A    E   B
Wait for now
    Dbm   B     E
I'll kneel down
A    E   B
Know my ground

Interlude - x2 -: E   B Dbm   A E B

Bridge:
 E    B   Dbm
Raise my hands
  A        E      B
Paint my spirit gold
  E   B     Dbm
And bow my head
  A       E     B
Keep my heart slow  

Chorus:
E
Cause I will wait, 
                   Abm  B
I will wait for you
E
And I will wait, 
                   Abm  B
I will wait for you
E
And I will wait, 
                   Abm  B
I will wait for you
E
And I will wait, 
                   Abm  B    E
I will wait for you

In my opinion, DDUDU played really fast works great, and on the pre-chorus, only one strum per chord.

If you’re a beginner like me, use -1 with a capo on the first fret.

+1, -1, or -3 are all good and relatively simple!
