C#7M                 F#7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
C#7M                 F#7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

C#7M                      F#7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
C#7M                F#7M
 My heart says follow through
C#7M                     F#7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
C#7M                   F#7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

C#7M                    F#7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
C#7M                    F#7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
C#7M               F#7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
C#7M                          F#7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

(Like I said)

C#7M                           F#7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
C#7M                      F#7M
 And I still can knock some more
C#7M               F#7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
C#7M               F#7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

C#7M           F#7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
C#7M                  F#7M
 But your love is my re-lief
C#7M                  F#7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          C#7M                            F#7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
