Verse 1:

[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                       [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                 [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 My heart says follow t'rough.
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                      [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                    [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 But the waitin' feel is fine.

[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                     [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                     [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 'Cos I know how to do my thing.
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb,
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                           [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 I wanna know when you're gonna come, soon.

Chorus 2:

[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                  [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                  [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.

        [ch]C[/ch]         [ch]D[/ch]     [ch]Bm7[/ch]               [ch]Am7[/ch]
'Cos if summer is here, I'm still waiting there.
[ch]C[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]Bm7[/ch]               [ch]Am7[/ch]
 Winter is here, and I'm still waiting there.

Verse 3:

[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                            [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                       [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 And I still can knock some more.
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now),
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 For I to knock some more?

         [ch]Gmaj7[/ch]      [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
Yah see, in life, I know there's lots of grief,
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                   [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 But your love is my re-lief.
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                   [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn,
          [ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                             [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. See...

Chorus 2:

[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                  [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]                  [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]
 I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
[ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 I don't wanna wait in vain.
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]
 I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
[ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
 I don't wanna wait in vain.
[ch]Gmaj7[/ch]
 I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
[ch]Cmaj7[/ch]

          [ch]Gmaj7[/ch]
It's your love that I'm waiting on,
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna wait in vain).
        [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
It's me love that you're running from.
         [ch]Gmaj7[/ch]
It's jah love that I'm waiting on,
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
I don't wanna wait in vain).
        [ch]Cmaj7[/ch]
It's me love that you're running from.
