             Verse 1 

     Gm      Bb                        Gm 
Hey darling, I hope you're good tonight 

     Bb 
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving 

     Gm 
Yeah, I want it but no, I don't need it 

     Bb                                Gm 
Tell me something sweet to get me by 

     Bb 
'Cause I can't come back home 'til they're singin' 

             Pre Chorus 

Bb        F          Gm 
La, la la la, la la la 
'Til everyone is singin' 

             Chorus 

Bb                   Gm 
If you can wait 'til I get home 

Eb                                              Bb      F 
Then I swear to you that we can make this last 
(La la la) 

Bb                   Gm 
If you can wait 'til I get home 

Eb                                                       Bb    F 
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past 
It might be for the best 
(Intro Riff Again) 
 (Same as Verse 1) 
Hey sweetie, I need you here tonight 
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving 
Yeah, you want it but I can't help it 
I just feel complete when you're by my side 
But I know you can't come home 'til they're singin' 

Bb         F           Gm 
La, la la la, la la la 
'Til everyone is singin' 

Bb        F           Bb 
La, la la la, la la la 

Chorus (same as earlier) 
If you can wait 'til I get home 
Then I swear to you that we can make this last 
(La la la) 
If you can wait 'til I get home 
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past 
It might be for the best 
  Gm                        Gm 
You know you can't give me what I need 

  Bb                        Bb          Gm 
And even though you mean so much to me 

 F 
I can wait through everything 

  F 
Is this really happening? 

   Eb                         Bb 
I swear I'll never be happy again 

    Gm 
And don't you dare say we can just be friends 

                            F 
I'm not some boy that you can sway 


We knew it'd happen eventually 


This part is either acoustic climbing from Bb to F To Gm, 
or electric guitar in drop d which is easy 


La, la la la, la la la 
Now everybody's singin' 
La, la la la, la la la 
Now everybody's singin' 
(If you can wait 'til I get home) 
La, la la la, la la la 
Now everybody's singin' 
(Then I swear we can make this last) 
La, la la la, la la la 
Now everybody's singin' 

If you can wait 'til I get home 
Then I swear we can make this last
