[Refrão]

G7M                 C7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
G7M                 C7M
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

G7M                      C7M
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl
G7M                C7M
 My heart says follow through
G7M                     C7M
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line
G7M                   C7M
 But the waitin' feel is fine

G7M                    C7M
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
G7M                    C7M
 'Cos I know how to do my thing
G7M               C7M
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb
G7M                          C7M
 I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

[Ponte]

        C        D    Bm7               Am7
'Cos if summer is here, I'm still waiting there
C         D        Bm7               Am7
 Winter is here, and I'm still waiting there

(Like I said)

G7M                           C7M
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door
G7M                      C7M
 And I still can knock some more
G7M               C7M
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now)
G7M               C7M
 For I to knock some more? Yah see

G7M           C7M
 In life, I know, there's lots of grief
G7M                  C7M
 But your love is my re-lief
G7M                  C7M
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
          G7M                            C7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See
