Abmaj7                          Dbmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain      for your love

[Verse]

Abmaj7                     Dbmaj7
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,

Abmaj7               Dbmaj7
My heart says follow through.

Abmaj7                    Dbmaj7
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,

Abmaj7                  Dbmaj7
But the waitin' feel is fine.

Abmaj7                   Dbmaj7
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,

Abmaj7                   Dbmaj7
Cos I know how to do my thing.

Abmaj7              Dbmaj7
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb,

Abmaj7                         Dbmaj7
I wanna know when you're gonna come. See

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

Abmaj7                Dbmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, cause if

[Verse 2]

Abmaj7                          Dbmaj7
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,

Abmaj7                     Dbmaj7
And I still can knock some more.

Abmaj7              Dbmaj7
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now),

Abmaj7              Dbmaj7
For I to knock some more?

      Abmaj7           Dbmaj7
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,

Abmaj7                 Dbmaj7
 But your love is my re-lief.

Abmaj7                 Dbmaj7
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn,

          Abmaj7                           Dbmaj7
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. U'See...

[Chorus]
