Waiting In Vain

WAITING IN VAIN by Bob Marley

*INTRO: Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 x2

Abmaj7 Dbmaj7

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love

*VERSE 1:

Abmaj7 Dbmaj7

From the very first time I placed my eyes on you girl,

My heart said follow through

But I know now that I'm way down on your line

But the waiting 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 want to know when you're gonna come. See,

*CHORUS:

Abmaj7 Dbmaj7

I don't want to wait in vain for your love

I don't want to wait in vain for your love

I don't want to wait in vain for your love, cause if

Winter is here, and I'm still waiting there...

Like I said

*VERSE 2:

Abmaj7 Dbmaj7

It's been three years since I'm knocking 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 relief.

Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn

while I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn. U'See...

*CHORUS:

Abmaj7 Dbmaj7

I don't want to wait in vain for your love

I don't want to wait in vain for your love

I don't want to wait in vain for your love

I don't want to wait in vain for your love

I don't want to wait in vain for your love, whoa...

I don't wanna, (x4) I don't wanna wait in vain, No,

I don't wanna, (x4) I don't wanna wait in vain, No, I,

No, I

no, no, no, I, oh, I.

It's yourLove that I'm waiting on,

it's my love that you're running from.

It's you Love that I'm waiting on,

it's my love that you're running from, Oh.
