Ab7M Db7M
Like i said, it's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
Ab7M Db7M
And I still can knock some more
Ab7M Db7M
Ooo girl, Ooo girl, Is it feasible? I wanna know now
Ab7M Db7M
For I to knock some more, you see
Ab7M Db7M
In life I know, there's lots of grief
Ab7M Db7M
But your love is my relief
Ab7M Db7M
Tears in my eyes burn, Tears in my eyes burn
Ab7M Db7M
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn, See!
