[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...
[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,

I don't wanna wait in vain).
Dbmaj7
It's me love that you're running from.
