Im Gonna Wait (CHORDS) by The Temper Trap
[Intro]~
F Dm Gm Bb C
[Verse 1]~
F Dm
Way down in a not-so-distant place
Gm Bb C
Your ghost is lingering still frames remembering the way we were
F Dm
Way down see reflections in the well
Gm Bb C
A distant haunting bell resounding every time I touch you in my mind
[Verse 2]~
F Dm
Helpless prayers cannot speed the time
Gm Bb C
Nor heaven change their mind left to our own device we set this bridge alive
F Dm
One day you may not know it yet
Gm Bb C
But this you won't forget I was the one who came running back again
[Chorus]~
F
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I wanna
Dm
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I wanna
Gm
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I wanna
Bb C
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait for you (REPEAT 1x)
F Dm Gm Bb C
[Verse 3]~
F Dm
My arms are reaching out for you
Gm Bb C
Each time I think of you the flood gates open and I'm left drowning in
F Dm
Although it lingers in my sleep
Gm Bb C
May you return to me,.. not to possess but to hold you in my keep
[Chorus]~
F
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I wanna
Dm
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I wanna
Gm
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I wanna
Bb C
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait for you (REPEAT 1x)
[Bridge]~
F Dm Gm
And so the last page shall remain
Bb C
empty until we write the rest
F Dm Gm
And some may say that I'm a fool
Bb C
a fool for waiting for you
F Dm Gm Bb C
[Bridge 2]~
F Dm Gm
I'll be a fool
Bb C
a fool waiting for you
F Dm Gm
When you come calling
Bb C
I'll be here still waiting for you
[Chorus]~
F
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I wanna
Dm
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I wanna
Gm
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I wanna
Bb C F
I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait,.. I'm gonna wait for you
