[Verse 1]
        Gbmaj7               Fm7
There's something I want to tell you,
        Gbmaj7                  Fm7
There's something I think that you should know.
             Gbmaj7               Fm7
It's not that I shouldn't really love you,
                 Db/Eb Ebm7 Db/Eb Bbm7 Ab
Let's take it slow.
     Gbmaj7               Fm7
When we get to know each other,
    Gbmaj7             Fm7
And we're both feeling much stronger.
           Gbmaj7          Fm7
Then let's try to talk it over,
                   Db/Eb Ebm7 Db/Eb Bbm7 Ab
Let's wait awhile longer.
 
[Chorus]
 Ab/Db      Gbmaj7
Let's wait awhile,
   Ab
Before it's too late.

Let's wait awhile,
  Abm9    Db7sus  Db7 Gb  Fm7 Db/Eb Ebm7 Db/Eb Bbm7 Ab
Before we go      too far.
 
[Verse 2]
  Gbmaj7                  Fm7
Remember that special night,
     Gbmaj7                   Fm7
When all of the stars were shining bright?
   Gbmaj7            Fm7
We made our first endeavor
            Db/Eb Ebm7 Db/Eb Bbm7 Ab
To stay together.
   Gbmaj7               Fm7
We made our very first promise,
   Gbmaj7              Fm7
To love, to share and be real honest.
    Gbmaj7               Ab/Db
But on that very first night,
                 Db/Eb Ebm7 Db/Eb Bbm7 Ab
It wasn't quite right.
 
[Chorus]
 Ab/Db      Gbmaj7
Let's wait awhile,
Ebm7   Ebm7/Ab
     Before it's too late.
 Ab/Db      Gbmaj7
Let's wait awhile,
Ebm7    Ebm7/Ab
    Our love will deepen.
 Ab/Db      Gbmaj7
Let's wait awhile,
  Abm9    Db7sus  Db7 Gb  Fm7 Db/Eb Ebm7 Db/Eb Bbm7 Ab
Before we go      too far.
 
[Bridge]
   Ebm11
I didn't really know,
       Fm7
Not to let all my feelings show.
    Gb            B
To save some for later,
Bbm7        Ebm7/Ab
So our love can be greater.
 
[Verse 3]
    Gbmaj7                     Fm7
You said you would always love me,
  Gbmaj7                Fm7
Remember I said the same thing too.
          Gbmaj7                      Fm7
You don't have to be frightened with my love,
      Ebm7
Because I'll never give up on you.
Fm7
    Let's wait awhile,
Gbmaj7
       Before it's too late.
Gdim                          Ebm9/Ab
     You know you can't rush love,
  Em9/A
Love.

Before we go    too  far.
