[Verse 1]
Am
I've been holding out for way too long
Dm
been hoping you say you're mine
G
I've been so in doubt you'll play along
CG
down low and always behind
Am
So, go slow, don't rush, don't care too much
Dm
Don't make me hold onto you
G
Girl, beware you touch me just enough,
CG
and maybe I'll play your fool
[Chorus]
N.C.
Be singing
Am
Go, don't stop
Dm
Won't feel no strain, no pop
GCG
Won't be no lonely days, not anymore
N.C.
Keep saying,
Am
Go, don't quit
Dm
Just stay, get used to it
GC
Won't be no lonely waves run to the shore
GAmDmGCG
To the shore, to the shore
| Am | Dm | G | CG |
[Verse 2]
Am
It's a waitin', chancin', true romancin'
DmG
Stay, we're too young to go, lights are fading,
CG
dancing crazy like there's maybe too much to know
Am
It's the same old life, all pay the price
Dm
No dice, we all fall for love
GCG
Run away, think twice, no sacrifice, no stalling, no push and shove
[Chorus]

Just singin'
