It's not very accurate but you'll work it out with the song
Intro : C Am F C
C Am
V1 I don't know where you came from
F C
but I do know that I'm not alone
C Am
be sure that I love you darling
F C
even though sometimes we won't get along
there's not a day that passes by, my dear
that I don't think of the first night we spoke
and those words are staying upon your skin
along with that precious smile of hope
C Am
CH that's why I'm like wait, wait, wait
F C
don't you know I could be your home?
C Am
I'm like wait, wait, wait
F C
cause nobody wants to be alone
V2 lying there on the kitchen floor (same as V1)
were the last signs of a helpless soul
and she knew that he would die right then
and so she held him until the last breath grew old
and so she cried as her darling slept
in between her arms, slid to the floor
and then she screamed out into the cold, cold night
oh my God, please don't go
CH she was like, wait, wait, wait
I love you more than you know
she was like, wait, wait, wait
I don't wanna be alone
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (ahem)
that's why I'm like, wait, wait, wait
