[Primeira Parte]

      E7M                             C#m7
I see you, you're with him - he ain't right but you don't trip
          G#m7                             
You stand by, while he lies - then turn right 'round and forgive
        E7M                               C#m7
I can't take to see your face, with those tears run down your cheeks
               G#m7                                
But what can I do - I gotta stay true 'cause deep down I'm still a G

[Pré-Refrão]

            A7M                             G#m7
And I don't wanna come between you and your man
              A7M                             A#m7
Even though I know I treat you better than he can

[Refrão]

     D#               E7M
Girl I can't help but wait
                       C#m7
Til' you get that with him, it don't change
               G#m7
Can't help but wait

Til' you see that with me it ain't the same
               E7M
Can't help but wait
              C#m7                     G#m7
Til' you, see you, for what you really are

Baby girl you are a star
                     E7M
And I can't help but wait

[Segunda Parte]

                               C#m7              
Listen, it ain't fresh to just let him call the shots
         G#m7               
You're a queen, you should be, getting all that someone's got
              E7M                           C#m7            
You should be rocking the latest in purses, bracelets, and watches, your worth
     G#m7                         
Much more than an occasional "I love you"

I'm thinking of you
