Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse 1
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t'rough.
But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,
But the waitin' feel is fine:
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,
'Cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;
I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon.
Chorus 1
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
Bridge 1
'Cause if summer is here,
I'm still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I'm still waiting there.
Verse 2
(Guitar Solo)
(Like I said):
Verse 3
It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible? (I wanna know now)
For I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,
But your love is my re-lief:
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn,
See!...
Chorus 2
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love. oh!
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain.
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain.
I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -
I don't wanna wait in vain.
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);
It's me love that you're running from.
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);
It's me love that you're running from.
(Repeat to Fade)
