Mi7M                 La7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Mi7M                 La7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

Mi7M                      La7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
Mi7M                La7M
 My heart says follow through
Mi7M                     La7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
Mi7M                   La7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

Mi7M                    La7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
Mi7M                    La7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
Mi7M               La7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
Mi7M                          La7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

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

(Like I said)

Mi7M                           La7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
Mi7M                      La7M
 And I still can knock some more
Mi7M               La7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
Mi7M               La7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

Mi7M           La7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
Mi7M                  La7M
 But your love is my re-lief
Mi7M                  La7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          Mi7M                            La7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
