Ab7M                 Db7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Ab7M                 Db7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

Ab7M                      Db7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
Ab7M                Db7M
 My heart says follow through
Ab7M                     Db7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
Ab7M                   Db7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

Ab7M                    Db7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
Ab7M                    Db7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
Ab7M               Db7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
Ab7M                          Db7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

        Db        Eb    Cm7               Bbm7
'Cos if summer is here, I'm still waiting there

(Like I said)

Ab7M                           Db7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
Ab7M                      Db7M
 And I still can knock some more
Ab7M               Db7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
Ab7M               Db7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

Ab7M           Db7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
Ab7M                  Db7M
 But your love is my re-lief
Ab7M                  Db7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          Ab7M                            Db7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
