Eb7M                 G#7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Eb7M                 G#7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

Eb7M                      G#7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
Eb7M                G#7M
 My heart says follow through
Eb7M                     G#7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
Eb7M                   G#7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

Eb7M                    G#7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
Eb7M                    G#7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
Eb7M               G#7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
Eb7M                          G#7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

(Like I said)

Eb7M                           G#7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
Eb7M                      G#7M
 And I still can knock some more
Eb7M               G#7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
Eb7M               G#7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

Eb7M           G#7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
Eb7M                  G#7M
 But your love is my re-lief
Eb7M                  G#7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          Eb7M                            G#7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
