Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 x2
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
[Verse]
Amaj7 Dmaj7
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
My heart says follow through.
Amaj7 Dmaj7
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
But the waitin' feel is fine.
Amaj7 Dmaj7
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Cos I know how to do my thing.
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I wanna know when you're gonna come. See
[Chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, cause if

Like I said
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 Dmaj7
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And I still can knock some more.
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible, (I wanna know now),
Amaj7 Dmaj7
For I to knock some more?
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
But your love is my re-lief.
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. U'See...
[Chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
Amaj7 Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
[Outro]
Amaj7
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain.
Amaj7
No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain.
Amaj7
No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain.
Amaj7
No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
Dmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain.
Amaj7
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).
Dmaj7
It's my love that you're running from.
Amaj7
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).
Dmaj7
It's me love that you're running from.
