NEXT TO ME (WAIT A MINUTE SISTER) – Gavin Degraw
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Standard tuning

Nice song this one, and quite easy to play. This is my interpretation.
Mostly simple chords, except for the D#/G perhaps, but look it up if you
have to - there are easy ways to play it. Have fun.

(INTRO: )

VERSE1
              () 
   Listen up destiny I know you wanna get pressed to me
         (C7/E)                                   
   So don’t be such a stone when I call you on the phone
                                
or I won't be using that number again
                       (Bb/A) 
Maybe what you had was broke....you wanna get high and they don’t
           (C7/E)
   So I had a drink cause it helped me think
                       
   Now you say I’ve been drinkin’ too much


PRE-CHORUS
                                /
But my hands start shakin’ and my heart starts quakin’
                        
like a nightmare naked in school. And I wanna tell you


CHORUS
                                            
   Wait a minute sister....I know I ain’t your mister yet
                                                         
Just give me the chance and see, but you won’t even get next to me
                                           
What you wanna do now, you’re gonna have to give somehow
                                                           >>
and I've got that thing you need, but you won’t even get next to me


VERSE2
                    /  
Once I get you in my grip....follow my eyes to your hips
          (C7/E)                         
   Don’t you pull away, you done it every day
                                                  
Just stay, why don’t you stay, why don’t you stay, baby
                          
Put away your old disguise, you don’t want no other guys
           (C7/E)                                 
   We’re havin’ so much fun, I know you shouldn’t run
                                           >>
But you run, you just run, you just run, baby

CHORUS (same as before, except for last chord)
Wait a minute sister I know I ain’t your mister yet
Just give me the chance and see, but you won’t even get next to me
What do you want to do now, you’re gonna have to give somehow
                                                           >>  
and I've got that thing you need, but you won’t even get next to me

INTERLUDE
                             
Me here, heart in hand offering, what I can
                                           
Patience, running thin, come on girl, let me in, yeah

CHORUS (from here on, just repeat chorus until the end)
Wait a minute sister I know I ain’t your mister yet
Just give me the chance and see, you won’t even get next to me
What you wanna do now, you’re gonna have to give somehow
And I got that thing you need, but you won’t even get next to me

Wait a minute sister I know I ain’t your mister yet
Gimme a chance and see, oh but you won’t even get next to me
What you wanna do now, gonna have to give somehow
and I've got that thing you need, you won’t even get next to me

You won’t get next to me
Why, Why why why why why why whyyy
Ooh whoa whoa
Wait a minute
Ooooh whoa
                           
     You won’t even get next to me
