(Capo 4)

[Intro:]
I can?t help but wait
Oh I, can?t help but wait
Check it out

[Verse 1:]
       C5               A5             E5
I see you, you're with him - he ain?t right but you don?t trip
          C5             A5               E5
You stand by, while he lies - then turn right 'round and forgive
         C5                A5               E5
I can?t take to see your face, with those tears run down your cheeks
                C5                 A5               E5
But what can I do - I gotta stay true 'cause deep down I?m still a G

[Bridge:] 
              F5                             E5
And I don?t wanna come between you and your man
                F5                              B5
Even though I know I treat you better than he can

                        C5
Girl I can?t help but wait
          A5           E5             
Til? you get that with him , it don?t change
                C5
Can?t help but wait
         A5            E5
Til? you see that with me it ain?t the same
                C5
Can?t help but wait
     A5       E5                       A5
Til? you, see you, for what you really are
      A5             E5
Baby girl you are a star
                      C5
And I can?t help but wait

(Same as verse 1)
Listen, it ain?t fresh to just let him call the shots
You?re a queen, you should be, getting all that someone?s got
You should be rocking the latest in purses, bracelets, and watches, your worth
Much more than an occasional "I love you"
I?m thinking of you

Bridge
F5                 E5
Get it together - you can do better
D5
Seeing?s believing
B5
And I see what you need so
F5
I?m gone play my position
E5
Let you catch what you?ve been missing
D5                                             C5
I?m calling out, girl 'cause I can?t help but wait
