(Capo 4)

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

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

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

                        C
Girl I can?t help but wait
          Am           Em             
Til? you get that with him , it don?t change
                C
Can?t help but wait
         Am            Em
Til? you see that with me it ain?t the same
                C
Can?t help but wait
     Am       Em                       Am
Til? you, see you, for what you really are
      Am             Em
Baby girl you are a star
                      C
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
F                 Em
Get it together - you can do better
D
Seeing?s believing
B
And I see what you need so
F
I?m gone play my position
Em
Let you catch what you?ve been missing
D                                             C
I?m calling out, girl 'cause I can?t help but wait
