I figured it out in Drop D tuning but you can change it up a little and still play
it in standard tuning; you just can't have as much of the low D bassline

Verse 2-
Well you finally came to the door
And we talked for an hour or more
Until I asked if you would stay up till four
You said thats fine
But you said theres something I have to say
And I cant because Im just so afraid
And so I held you as you started to shake, that night

Verse 3- (intro tab)
You slowly lifted your head from your hands
You said I just dont think that youll understand
Youll never look at me that way again, if you knew what I did
And so your tears fell and melted the snow
You told me secrets nobody had known
Oh, but I never loved you more even though now I knew what you did
Chorus 2-
Oh my dear
I will wait for you
And grace tonight, will pull us through
Yeah, oh my dear, I will wait for you
And grace tonight will pull us through
Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that youre scared of, disappear inside
Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Oh my dear
Ill keep you in my arms...
Chorus 3-
Till the tears have left your eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that youre scared of, have disappeared inside
Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Well, oh my dear
Ill keep you in my arms tonight
Ill keep you in my arms tonight
