Re7M                 Sol7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Re7M                 Sol7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

Re7M                      Sol7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
Re7M                Sol7M
 My heart says follow through
Re7M                     Sol7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
Re7M                   Sol7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

Re7M                    Sol7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
Re7M                    Sol7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
Re7M               Sol7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
Re7M                          Sol7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

        Sol        La    Fa#m7               Mim7
'Cos if summer is here, I'm still waiting there

(Like I said)

Re7M                           Sol7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
Re7M                      Sol7M
 And I still can knock some more
Re7M               Sol7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
Re7M               Sol7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

Re7M           Sol7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
Re7M                  Sol7M
 But your love is my re-lief
Re7M                  Sol7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          Re7M                            Sol7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
