(verse 1) 
C                D 
I'm keeping my calandar open, 
G            C 
Even if it takes me years, 
C                   D 
Til you figure out what your plan is, 
G               C 
You figure out all of your fears, 
G                    C 
I don't wanna know anything about her, 
G                         C 
Or what you feel like you have to defend, 
D            Bm/5+    Cadd9 
But I've seen your situation, 
D                 Bm/5+    Cadd9 
And the world she keeps you in, 
 
G               Am7     
I'm keeping my distance, 
Bm/5+            Cadd9 - D 
I'm keeping my distance, 
G       Bm/5+          Am7     Cadd9 
And I'll wait until my time is here, 
G               Am7  
I'm keeping my distance, 
Bm/5+            Cadd9 - D 
I'm keeping my distance, 
G       Bm/5+                  Cadd9 - D 
And I'll wait until you make it clear,  
 
 
(verse 2) 
If you don't want to rush it baby 
Well then by all means don't 
But I'm gonna wait for the day when 
When you see that it's me you want 
I can see, I can tell that you need me 
You know that I need you too 
So why on earth can't you ever let her go 
Will you ever try anything new 

G               Am7     
I'm keeping my distance, 
Bm/5+            Cadd9 - D

And I'll wait until my time is here, 
G               Am7  
I'm keeping my distance, 
Bm/5+            Cadd9 - D

    Where will you find the strength, 
                                 C-G-D 
    I can't hold you against your will, 
                       C  G-Bm/5+ 
    You keep me at arm's length, 
                        C         D 
   I'm reaching out to hold you still, yeah, yeah, yeah
