Verse 1:

F           C           Dm                C
 I remember when, I was five and you were ten, boy,
    F               C           Am                 E
You knew that I was shy, so you teased and made me cry.

 But I loved you...

Verse 2:

F                 C         Dm               C
 Then one day you came, you told me you were leaving,
    F                   C         Am            E
You gave your folks the blame and made me cry a-gain.
E     Am  G/B
 When you said...

Chorus 1:

C                          Fmaj7
 Little girl, please don't wait for me,
     C             Am         Dm              G7
Wait patiently for love, some-day will surely come.
C                          Fmaj7
 Little girl, please don't wait for me,
     C             Am         Dm              G7
Wait patiently for love, some-day will surely come.
    E         Am   G/B
And I'm still wait-ing.

Bridge 1:

F            C     Dm         Am
 (I'm just a fool, I'm just a fool to keep waiting,
F           C     Am         E
 I'm just a fool, I'm just a fool).
F            C     Dm         Am
 (I'm just a fool, I'm just a fool to keep waiting,
F           C     Am         E
 I'm just a fool, I'm just a fool).

Interlude:

E  Am, G/B

Verse 3:

     F               C        Dm              C
Then someone finally came; he told me that he loved me,
  F                C              Am           E
I put him off with lies; he could see I had no eyes.
E      Am   G/B
 So he left me...

Verse 4:

F              C           Dm                C
 Once again, a-lone like a child without her playmate,
  F               C            Am                 E
I had to face the truth; I was still in love with you.
E    Am  G/B
 But you said...

Chorus 2:

C                          Fmaj7
 Little girl, please don't wait for me,
     C             Am         Dm              G7
Wait patiently for love, some-day will surely come.
C                          Fmaj7
 Little girl, please don't wait for me,
     C             Am         Dm              G7
Wait patiently for love, some-day will surely come.
    E         Am   G/B
And I'm still wait-ing.

Break:

C         Am
 Love has never shown his face,
C
 Since the day you walked out that door.
Em             F
 You filled my life with empty space,
C
 Come back; can't you see it's you, I'm waiting for?
