View chords used in this chart
capo 2nd fret (or play open in the key of A)
verse 1:
G
There are days I can recall
C
You and me and a wrecking ball
G
How the buildings' walls would crumble
D
We would dance upon the rubble
G
I still have some storied scars
C
From drunken brawls outside the bar
G
That was all before we'd grown
D
But boy, we sure could hold our own
PreChorus:
Em
Somewhere down the line you went and changed your mind
C
Found some other things to help you waste your time
G D
Now you said goodbye to all you knew
Am
Went diving in the water though it's cold as ice
Em G D
Are you reaching out for me and praying I could save your life, that I could save your life?
[Refrão]Bm C
I won't wait for you
G
Nothing that you said ever made me want to
Bm C G
I won't wait for you
Bm C
I won't wait for you
G
Nothing that you've done ever made me want to
Bm C Cm
I won't wait for you
verse 2:
G
Towers tumbling to the ground
C
You gave the word I tore them down
G
Entire cities blown apart
D
From time bombs we disguised as hearts
G
You could not be satisfied
C
Mischief burning in your eyes
G
Kicking open every door
D
And always crying out for more
PreChorus:
Em
Somewhere down the line you went and changed your mind
C
Found some other things to help you waste your time
G D
Now you said goodbye to all you knew
Am
I'm thinking what you're needing is some holy ghost

Remind you how you said that it was love you loved the most, love you love the most

I won't wait for you
