Tom : A
A / / / D / / / F#m / / / E / / /
However, the A and F#m really have three beats each while the D and E have five.
It's really supposed to be:
A / / D / / / / F#m / / E / / / /
[Verse 1:]
A D F#m E
When I met you, love, I hadn't done the dirty yet,
A D F#m ( E )
Call me the unicorn, they said that I didn't exist,
A D F#m E
Truth is my heart was torn, the v had a couple of rips
A D F#m E
But I was still holding on to the edge with my finger tips
[Pre-chorus:]
A D
With a little bit of prayer, little bit of porn, sorry,
F#m E
Couple long nights of sleeping on my own
A D
Waiting for the right one to come along
F#m E
Waiting for the right one and now I know
[Chorus:]
A D F#m E
That I was holding out for you
A D F#m E
Yeah, I've been holding out for you
A D F#m E
And the neighbors, yeah, they're all haters 'cause they say that we go too loud
[Próxima Parte]
A D F#m E
I've been holding out for you
[Verse 2:]
A D F#m E
And a couple times thought I might not make it (make it)
A D F#m ( E )
Laying on the bed, both of us half naked (naked)
A D F#m E
Looking in her eyes something in my heart said save it (save it!)
A D F#m E
Here we go again, another awkward conversation
[Pre-chorus:]
A D
With a little bit of prayer, little bit of porn, sorry,
[Próxima Parte]
A D F#m E
I've been holding out for you
[Bridge:]
A D F#m E
Cupid's secret is love starts before you meet it [4x]
[Pre-chorus:]
A D
With a little bit of prayer, little bit of porn, sorry,
[Próxima Parte]
A D F#m E
I've been holding out for you
A D F#m E
Holding out for you
A D F#m E
Yeah, I was holding out for you
A D F#m E
And the neighbors, yeah, they're all haters 'cause they say that we go too loud
A D F#m E
Yeah, I've been holding out for you
