Verse 1:

Gmaj7
 From the very first time,
  Cmaj7
I rest my eyes on you, girl,
Gmaj7                 Cmaj7
 My heart says follow t'rough.
Gmaj7
 But I know, now, that I'm,
Cmaj7
 Way down on your line,
Gmaj7                    Cmaj7
 But the waitin' feel is fine.

Gmaj7
 So don't treat me,
       Cmaj7
Like a puppet on a string,
Gmaj7
 'Cos I know,
             Cmaj7
How to do my thing.
Gmaj7
 Don't talk to me,
   Cmaj7
As if you think I'm dumb,
Gmaj7
 I wanna know,
                  Cmaj7
When you're gonna come, soon.

 It's been three years,

 And I still can knock some more.

Gmaj7
 Ooh girl, ooh girl,
Cmaj7
 Is it feasible,
(I wanna know now),
Gmaj7                Cmaj7
 For I to knock some more?

         Gmaj7
Yah see, in life,
       Cmaj7
I know there's lots of grief,
Gmaj7                   Cmaj7
 But your love is my re-lief.
Gmaj7
 Tears in my eyes burn,
Cmaj7
 Tears in my eyes burn,
          Gmaj7

While I'm waiting for my turn.
