[Intro]
E A E A
 
 
[Verse 1]
E                          A
I had a dream of you and I
E                             A
Carried on waves of happiness
E                                   A
Opened my eyes and we're hanging on tight
F#m                   A
To a sinking ship and I'm losing grip
E                               A
Living on different frequencies
E                             A
And I see you less frequently
E                                   A
Time after time we just pass in the night
F#m
We're a sinking ship
A
You can't let go of it
 
 
[Chorus]
E                           A
So I'll wait, wait a little longer
           E                         A
Yeah, I'll wait with the bruises and scars
         C#m                       A
And I'll wait 'til you're a little stronger
       F#m       A
'Cause together, together
              E       A    E    A
Is tearing us apart
 
N.C.
^^ Between the last two lines of the chorus is a small progression from F#m -> A -> progression -> E
I find it sounds good to play some variation of A -> C#m -> G#m -> A -> B -> E.
 
 
[Verse 2]
            E                                  A
And she said, "Look at those cracks, won't you fix them up?"
      E                                         A
And, "You did this to us, don't you dare give up"
          E
And though, my arms are open
                 A
My heart is shut tight
      F#m
But I can't disconnect
      A
When I wanna protect you
 
 
[Chorus]
           E                A
So I'll wait, wait a little longer
           E                A
Yeah, I'll wait with the bruises and scars
         C#m                  A
And I'll wait 'til you're a little stronger
       F#m       A
'Cause together, together
 
 
[Bridge]
C#m
We're not living our lives
 
Are we living a lie?
C#m/B#
Are we just treading water?
 
All caught up in the tide
C#m/B                         C#m/A#
If we're gonna survive, gotta sever the ties, oh no
    A
But until then
 
 
[Chorus]
E            A
I will wait, wait a little longer
            E                      A
And I'll wait with the bruises and scars
         C#m                       A
And I'll wait 'til you're a little stronger
       F#m       A
'Cause together, together
       E                   A
I will wait, wait a little longer
         E                         A
And I'll wait with the bruises and scars
         C#m                       A
And I'll wait 'til you're a little stronger
       F#m       A
'Cause together, together
       F#m       A
'Cause together, together
              E
Is tearing us apart
