I Don't Wanna Wait ukulele

I Don't Wanna Wait

• Dmaj7

This song starts with a capo on the 2nd fret and switches to no capo about 2/3 into the song.
While that may sound unncessarily difficult, it is actually very easy to do without missing a chord.
Check out this performance to see what I am talking about (first song): https://youtu.be/mSYPhXgrWBQ
I will explain when to remove the capo below.

Bridge
C#m                  D
All I've lost and all I've found
          A  E       F#m E
Would you understand
C#m            D
All I really needed
         A  E          F#m E
Was your helping hand?


Key Change Bridge

*This is where the capo removal happens. I think the easiest way to do this is to
play the Am chord with the capo still on and then remove it as the chord rings.
Since each chord in this section is a single strum/let ring, you have plenty of
time to remove it before the next chord. I also play barre chords for this section
then switch to open chords for the final chorus, as Adam does in the linked performance.


Am
All this feeling lonesome
           Em
Tiresome struggling
                   Dm
Would you care any longer
                 G            F Em Dm Em G
If it carries me back to you?


Chorus
Dm                 C G
I don't wanna wait
                            F
Yeah, when I'm running to you
C   G
I'm starving
                     F  C    G
Am I breaking you down over nothing?
Dm                  C G
Show a little faith
                            F
Yeah, when I'm running to you
C   G
I'm starving
                    F   C   G
Am I breaking you down over nothing?
Dm                 C G   F  C G  F  C G
I don't wanna wait
