Can't Help But Wait by Trey Songz
Can't Help But Wait
(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

I can't help but wait, oh uh
Can't help but wait
Check it out, uh
I see you, you with him
He aint right but you dont trip
You stand by while he lies
Then turn right round and forgive
I cant take to see your face
With those tears runnin' down your cheeks
But what can I do, I gotta stay true
Because deep down Im still a G
And I dont want to come between you and your man
Even though I know I treat you better than he can
Girl I cant help but wait
Till you get that with him it dont change
Cant help but wait
Till you see that with me it aint the same
Cant help but wait
Till you see you for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I cant help but wait
Listen, it ain't fresh
To just let him call the shots
Youre a queen, you should be
Gettin' all that someones got
You should be rockin' the latest in purses
Bracelets and watches youre worth
Much more than an occasional
'I love you, Im thinking of you'
And I dont wanna come between you and your man, no
Even though I know I treat you better than he can
Girl I cant help but wait
Till you get that with him it dont change
Cant help but wait
Till you see that with me it aint the same
Cant help but wait
Till you see you for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I cant help but wait
Get it together
You can do better
See is believin'
And I see what you need so
Im going to play my position
Let you catch what youve been missing
Im calling out, girl cuz
I cant help but wait
Till you get that with him it dont change
Cant help but wait
Till you see that with me it aint the same
Cant help but wait
Till you see you for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I cant help but wait
Till you get that with him
It dont change
Cant help but wait
Till you see that with me it aint the same
Cant help but wait
Till you see you for what you really are
Baby girl you are a star
And I cant help but wait
Cant help but wait babe, no no no
I cant help but wait
Oh oh oh
Cant help wait
No, no, no

After you play number 2, repeat number 1. & This part just repeats throughout the whole song.

perfect.
