CAPO 5
G
If love is a feeling,
Em
then I don’t want it
C G
You’ll take it and make it into more!
G
But if you want something
Em
that really means something,
C G
I’ll show you what love is really for.
C D
And if you want me
G Em
to say, “You don’t have change,”
C
I’ve been waiting patiently.
D G Em
Well, love can wait for me, love can wait for me!
G C D
Oh oh, oh whoa! Oh wooooooohohoh…
G
I think I see clearly,
Em
but everyone tells me,
C G
“Aren’t you and I meant to be?”
G
But don’t tell me baby
Em
that we’re going somewhere,
C G
because your somewhere is not where I want to be.

And if you want me
G Em
to say, “You don’t have change,”

I’ve been waiting patiently.

Well, love can wait for me, love can wait for me!

Yeah man, what’cha got?)

You don’t know what love is,
C Em
My heart is losing all its faith—
C Em
there’s this sound in my head
that’s saying:

“Won’t you wait for me,
D G
will you wait for me?”

Yeaaaaaah, yeaaah! YEAH!

to say “You don’t have change”
