by Bob Marley

[Intro]

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]
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

[Chorus]
Abmaj7                Dbmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Abmaj7                Dbmaj7
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love
Abmaj7                Dbmaj7
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...
