Verse 1:
E                    Dbm
You will say you're dreaming up a way
        A                     E
You're dreaming up a way to explode
                      Dbm
There's a time you'll seek out a disguise
      A                             E
When you think people hate you the most
                    Dbm
And it gets worse before it gets better
       A                              E
That's one thing that I have come to know
              Dbm A
Just so you know

Chorus:
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             Dbm
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             Dbm                 E Dbm A
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

Verse 2:
E                  Dbm
All the things you don't wanna let go
     A                       E
You wanna look back on and recall
 E                   Dbm
All the times that feel like everything
      A                        E
When nothing really happens at all
  E
They're still here
        Dbm
Oh, in that important room
       A                           E
We've got your pictures up on the wall
           E  Dbm A
Up on the wall

Chorus:
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             Dbm
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             Dbm
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             Dbm
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
E
Do not wait, do not wait, do not wait
         A                             Dbm
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
