[Refrão]

A7M                 D7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
A7M                 D7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

A7M                      D7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
A7M                D7M
 My heart says follow through
A7M                     D7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
A7M                   D7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

A7M                    D7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
A7M                    D7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
A7M               D7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
A7M                          D7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

[Ponte]

        D        E    C#m7               Bm7
'Cos if summer is here, I'm still waiting there
D         E        C#m7               Bm7
 Winter is here, and I'm still waiting there

(Like I said)

A7M                           D7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
A7M                      D7M
 And I still can knock some more
A7M               D7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
A7M               D7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

A7M           D7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
A7M                  D7M
 But your love is my re-lief
A7M                  D7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          A7M                            D7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
