Chorus:
G
Heartbreak can wait
Em
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
C
Yeah I know I gotta do this
D
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
G
Still haven't made it up the PCH
Em
Still haven't kissed you in the pourin' rain
C
Birthday 'round the corner, couple weeks away
D
So I'm holdin' off
G
Things are goin' good, but they're not goin' great
Em
You've been workin' hard and I've been workin' late
C
The words that I've been thinkin'
I don't really wanna say
D
So I'm holdin' off
Chorus:
G
Heartbreak can wait
Em
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
C
Yeah I know I gotta do this
D
But I'm makin' up excuses not to be alone
G
Heartbreak can wait
Em
But I don't wanna waste your time
C
So I'mma take your hand and hold it like
I'm never lettin' go
D
Before I say goodbye
(Heartbreak can wait)
[Verse 2]
G
Haven't slept a second in the last seven nights
Em
Livin' in my head, I'm rehearsin' every line
C
I know that there's no way that we're not gonna cry
D
So I'm holdin' off
Am
Desperate for my soul to softly say
D
"It's okay to stay a few more days"
Chorus
G
Wait a second, I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Em
Why is it the ones you love,
the ones you hurt the most
C
Went as far as I can run but now I'm out of road
D
I gotta let you know, I gotta let you know
G
Wait a second,
I feel like my stomach's in my throat
Em
Why is it the ones you love,
the ones you hurt the most
C
Went as far as I can run but now I'm out of road
D
I gotta let you know
Chorus:
G
But heartbreak can wait
Em
'Cause I'm too scared to let you go
C
Yeah I know I gotta do this
