I don't wanna wait in vain - For your love [Ho-

                                            ok]

From the very first time                   (x2)

I blessed my eyes on you, girl

My heart says follow through - …   [Intro] (x2)

But I know, now                       CM7 CM7

That I'm way down on your line        FM7 FM7

But the waitin' feel is fine - …

So don't treat me - Like a puppet on a string

Cause I know how to do my thing - …

Don't talk to me  - As if you think I'm dumb

I wanna know when you're gonna come

                                     See [Hook]

Cause if summer is here   [Link]           (x3)

I'm still waiting there   F G Em7 Dm7

Winter is here - And I'm still waiting there


Like I said, it's been three years      [Intro]

    since I'm - Knockin' on your door      (x4)

And I still can knock some more - … ╔═════════╗

Oohoohh girl, oohoohh girl          ║ Waiting ║

Is it feasible, I wanna know now    ║ in Vain ║

For I to knock some more   - …      ╚═════════╝

Ya see, in life I know - There's lots of grief

But your love is my relief - …

Tears in my eyes burn (x2)           See [Hook]

While I'm waiting (x2) for my turn         (x5)


((Oh/No) (I don't wanna x5) wait in vain x2)

((No I/No no no I), no I             ╔════════╗

 I don't wanna wait in vain x2)      ║  Bob   ║

(It's your love that I'm waiting on  ║ Marley ║

 It's my love that you're running from x2) ═══╝
