[Intro]
Bm | G | A | A (2x)
[Verse I]
Bm G
I know that you're ready to go
A A
But stay a while and fake a smile
Bm G
I know that you're ready to go
A A
Cause there you lay and stare away
Bm G
Out the window, the houses through the groves
A A
And to the mountains down the road
Bm
I will follow in your footsteps
G A A
When I walk away the sadness in the snow
[Chorus]
Bm
Don't go
D
I need you to be waiting for me
A G
Every time I'm home
Bm
Don't go
D A G
I'll be right beside you when you rest your broken bones
Bm
Don't go
G | A | A
[Verse II]
Bm G
I know that you're ready to go
A A
The sky above, the soaring dove
Bm G
I don't think I'm ready to go
A A
Here alone, you are the stone
Bm
That holds me in position
G
With your calm and steady wisdom
A A
Don't you walk away
Bm
I will be there in the morning
G A A
At the sunrise if you promise to be strong
[Chorus]
Bm
Don't go

I need you to be waiting for me

G | A | A
[Bridge]
Bm
How could I slow down time
D
As the waters climb
A
Had your hand in mine
G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Bm
How can I know new life
D
As the waters rise
A
I'll just close my eyes
G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Chorus] x2
