And hey darling

I hope you're good tonight
       C                    G                   
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving
Am                                     
Yeah, I want it but no, I don't need it
C                 G               Am
Tell me something sweet to get me by

'Cuz I can't come back home 'til they're singing
Fmaj7     G         Am
La, la la la, la la la
         C              
'Til everyone is singing

[Chorus]
C                    G         
If you can wait 'til I get home
       Am          
Then I swear to you
                      Fmaj7          
That we can make this last (la la la)
C                    G         
If you can wait 'til I get home
       Am                 
Then I swear come tomorrow
                        Fmaj7
This will all be in the past
         C      G             
Well, it might be for the best

[Verse 2]
Am          C  
And hey sweetie
         G               Am  
Well, I need you here tonight
       C                   G                   
And I know that you don't want to be leaving me
Am                                   
Yeah, you want it but I can't help it
C               G                       Am 
I just feel complete when you're by my side
       Fmaj7               C                G      
But I know you can't come home 'til they're singing
Fmaj7     G         Am
La, la la la, la la la
         C              
'Til everyone is singing
Fmaj7     G           
La, la la la, la la la

[Chorus]
C                    G         
If you can wait 'til I get home
       Am          
Then I swear to you
                      Fmaj7          
That we can make this last (la la la)
C                    G         
If you can wait 'til I get home
       Am                 
Then I swear come tomorrow
                        Fmaj7
This will all be in the past
         C      G         Fmaj7
Well, it might be for the best

[Bridge]
                   Fmaj7          C   
You know you can't give me what I need
         C                  Am        
And even though it means so much to me
        Am                G    
I can't wait through everything
        G               
Is this really happening
Fmaj7                        C   
I swear I'll never be happy again
                                    Am            
And don't you dare say that we can just be friends
                               G  
I'm not some boy that you can sway
N.C.
We knew it'd happen eventually

[Outro]
Fmaj7     G         Am
La, la la la, la la la
        C              
Now everybody's singing
Fmaj7     G         Am
La, la la la, la la la
        C              
Now everybody's singing
Fmaj7     G         Am                                  
La, la la la, la la la (If you can wait ‘til I get home)
        C              
Now everybody's singing
Fmaj7     G         Am                                                 
La, la la la, la la la (Then I swear to you that we can make this last)
        C              
Now everybody's singing
