verse 1 

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


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

verse 2 

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


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

BRIDGE 

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


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