Intro: Am  Cmaj9/B  C  F  C  G  }x2 
 
Verse:
 C
I came home 
          F
Like a stone 
              C          Gadd11
And I fell heavy into your arms 
 
          C
These days of dust 
           F
Which we've known 
          C                Gadd11
Will blow away with this new sun 
 
   Am   Cmaj9/B  C
And I'll kneel down  
  F   C   G  G
Wait for now 
   Am   Cmaj9/B  C
And I'll kneel down 
    F    C   G  G
Know my ground 
 
Chorus:
 C                          Em  G      
I will wait, I will wait for you 
 C                             Em  G  
And I will wait, I will wait for you 
 
C }4x 
 
Verse:
 C
So break my step 
      F
And relent 
      C                 Gadd11
You forgave and I won't forget 
                C
Know what we've seen 
             F
And him with less 
            C               Gadd11  
Now in some way, shake the excess 
 
Chorus:
 C                                Em G 
Cause I will wait, I will wait for you 
 C                                Em G  
And I will wait, I will wait for you 
 C                                Em G  
And I will wait, I will wait for you 
 C                                Em G  
And I will wait, I will wait for you 
 
Verse piano:
 C
Now I'll be bold 
            F
As well as strong 
        C                Gadd11
Use my head alongside my heart 
           C
So take my flesh 
           F
And fix my eyes 
              C               Gadd11
That tethered mind free from the lies 
 
   Am   Cmaj9/B   C
And I'll kneel down  
  F   C   G
Wait for now 
   Am   Cmaj9/B   C
And I'll kneel down 
    F    C   G  G
Know my ground 
 
C  Cmaj9/B  Am  F  C  G }x2 
  
 C   Cmaj9/B   Am
Raise   my     hands 
 F          C       G
Paint my spirit gold 
   C   Cmaj9/B   Am
And bow   my    head 
 F          C    G  G
Keep my heart slow         
         
Chorus:
 C                                Em  G 
Cause I will wait, I will wait for you 
 C                                Em  G  
And I will wait, I will wait for you 
 C                                Em  G  
And I will wait, I will wait for you

And I will wait, I will wait for you
