Make Him Wait

G  D  A Bm

[Verse 1]
        G     D                   
When he calls you, you don't have 
   A            Bm
to answer right away
             G     D     A
Make him wait
            G     D               
And when he small talks before he 
A             Bm
asks you on a date
             G     D     A
Make him wait
         Bm                        
When his Pontiac's in the driveway 
        A
and his eyes are midnight blue
       G                     
Take a deep breath and do the 
              Em
opposite of what you wanna do

[Chorus]
         G            D
Make him wait, by the phone
       A                 Bm
At the door to meet your dad
  G                         D     
Before that first kiss he's gotta 
                A
hold your hand
G                D             A
You can't get it back when you 
             Bm
give yourself away
       G                     D    
Yeah a boy's gonna run but a real 
            A
man's gonna stay
                   G      D      
Girl make him wait
A     Bm

                   G      D      A
Mmmm make him wait

[Verse 2]
            G    D           
And when he says that, it'd be 
  A     Bm                        
easier if you just stayed the 
   G
night
         D     A
Make him wait (mhmmm)
             G  D           A    
You're gonna wanna, and you think
          Bm
 that you just might
             G   D    A
But make him wait, oohhhhh

[Chorus]
         G            D
Make him wait, by the phone
       A                 Bm
At the door to meet your dad
  G                         D     
Before that first kiss he's gotta 
                A
hold your hand
G                D             A
You can't get it back when you 
             Bm
give yourself away
       G                    D     
Yeah a boy's gonna run but a real 
           A
man's gonna stay
                   G      D      
Girl make him wait
A     Bm

                   G      D      A
Ohhhh make him wait

[Bridge]
     G                      D     
They taught me that love is worth 
              A
the weight in gold
          D            A
Like that ring on your hand, so
                  G                
When you find the one, the stayin' 
Bm
kind
              Asus2   A
Then he won't mind...

[Chorus]
                G            D
If you make him wait, in his tux
       A                 Bm
Cellos sing you down the aisle
     G                 D       
Walk slow, take your time, while 
              A
your daddy cries and your mama 
smiles
            G                    D
And they're throwin' rice in the 
             A             Bm
air and those tin cans roll away
        G                 D   
And you look into his eyes, and 
       Asus2               A
realize it was worth the while
                   G      D      
To make him wait
A     Bm

                   G      D      A
Make him wait
