E A
i called you up , you were in bed
E A
could barely make out the words that you said
E G#m
but you wanted to see me instead
A
so i got dressed
E A
and i stepped out into the snow
E A
and walked for a mile or so
E G#m A
felt the rush of blood come from the cold , in my chest

E A
well you finally came to the door
E A
and we talked for an hour or more
E G#m
until i asked if you would stay up till four
A
you said that’s fine
E A
but you said there’s something i have to say
E A
and i can’t because i’m just so afraid
E G#m A
and so i held you as you started to shake , that night

C#m E
oh my dear
A A2
i will wait for you
C#m E A A2
grace tonight , will pull us through

E A
until the tears have left your eyes
E A
until the fear can sleep at night
E A C#m
until the demons that you’re scared of , disappear inside
E A
until this guilt begins to crack
E A
and the weight falls from your back
C#m
oh my dear
A2 E
i’ll keep you in my arms tonight

E A
you slowly lifted your head from your hands
E A
you said “i just don’t think that youll understand
E G#m A
youll never look at me that way again , if you knew what i did”
E A
and so your tears fell and melted the snow
E A
you told me secrets nobody had known
E G#m A
oh , but i never loved you more even though now i knew what you did

C#m E
oh my dear
A A2
i will wait for you
C#m E A A2
and grace tonight , will pull us through
C#m E A A2
yeah , oh my dear , i will wait for you
C#m E A A2
and grace tonight will pull us through

E A
until the tears have left your eyes
E A
until the fears can sleep at night
E A C#m
until the demons that you’re scared of , disappear inside
E A
until this guilt begins to crack
E A
and the weight falls from your back
C#m
oh my dear
A2
i’ll keep you in my arms . . .

E A
till the tears have left your eyes
E A
until the fears can sleep at night
E A C#m
until the demons that you’re scared of , have disappeared inside
E A
until this guilt begins to crack
E A
and the weight falls from your back
C#m

A2 E

A2 E
