[intro]
A           Em7  A
It's been a long time, 
F
now I'm 
Em7
coming back home. 
A         Em7  A
I've been away now, 
 F
Oh how 
Em7       D
I've been alone. 

[chorus 1]
Em7 
Wait 
A       Em7                A
until I come back to your side, 
Em7                       A
we'll forget the tears we cried. 
Em7    A          F
But if your heart breaks, 
Em7    F
don't wait,
Em7       A 
turn me away. 
Em7    A            F
And if your heart's strong, 
Em7   F
hold on, 
Em7    
I won't delay. 
[chorus]
Em7
Wait
                          A

we'll forget the tears we cried. 

[verse]
Em7
I feel as though, 
A
you ought to know 
F
that I've been good, 
A          F
as good as I can be.
A 
And If you do, 
Em7
I'll trust in you, 
Em7           A          Em7    A
and know that you will wait for me. 
A           Em7  A
It's been a long time, 
F
now I'm 
Em7
coming back home. 
A         Em7  A
I've been away now, 
 F
Oh how 
Em7       D
I've been alone. 
Em7 
Wait 
A       Em7                A
until I come back to your side, 
Em7                       A
we'll forget the tears we cried. 
Em7    A          F
But if your heart breaks, 
Em7    F
don't wait,
Em7       A 
turn me away.

And if your heart's strong,
