*from 'Exodus' (1977)*


[Intro]

Abmaj7  Dbmaj7 (x2)

[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.

[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.

[Bridge]

        Db        Eb    Cm7               Bbm7
'Cos if summer is here, I'm still waiting there.
Db         Eb        Cm7               Bbm7
 Winter is here, and I'm still waiting there.

[Solo]

Abmaj7  Dbmaj7 (x4)

(Like I said)...

[Verse]

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? Yah see...

Abmaj7           Dbmaj7
 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. 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.
Abmaj7                 Dbmaj7
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.
Abmaj7                 Dbmaj7
 I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh...
Abmaj7
 I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
Dbmaj7
 I don't wanna wait in vain.
    Abmaj7
No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna,
Dbmaj7
 I don't wanna wait in vain.

          Abmaj7
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).
        Dbmaj7
It's my love that you're running from.
         Abmaj7
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).
        Dbmaj7
It's me love that you're running from.
