Intro: Am Am7 G G7 F F7 C C7

Am            Am7
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing 
G            G7
You believed in superstitions 
F            F7              C      C7
Then maybe you'd see the signs 


Am                  Am7
The Lord knows that this world is cruel 
G              G7
I ain't the Lord, I'm just a fool 
F                  F7                 C          C7
and in love with somebody don't make them love you 


       E           Am   Am7   Am   Am7   Am   Am7
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E            Am   Am7   Am   Am7   Am   Am7
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 


Am               Am7
I sang your songs, I danced your dance 
G                G7
I gave your friends all a chance 
F                  F7                  C    C7
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you 


 Am                    Am7
oh Maybe you've been through this before 
G                    G7
But it's my first time so please ignore 
F                  F7                  C      C7
These next few lines because they're directed at you 


       E            Am   Am7   Am   Am7   Am   Am7
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E             Am   Am7   Am   Am7   Am   Am7
I can't always be playing, playing your fool 


C                  E
  I keep playing your part
              F
But it's not my scene 
                G
Want this plot to twist 
                  F
I've had enough mystery
            C 
Keep building it up 
              F
Then shooting me down 
            G
But I'm already down 


            Am  Am7  G
Just wait a minute 
G7          F           F7  C
Just sitting, waiting
C7            Am     Am7  G
Just wait a minute
G7          F           F7  C  C7
Just sitting, waiting 


Am                Am7
Well if I was in your position 
G               G7
I'd put down all my amuntintion 
F                  F7            C   C7
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long 


Am               Am7
But the lord knows that I'm not you 
G              G7
and if I was I wouldn't be so cruel 
F                  F7               C   C7
cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do 


       E            Am   Am7   Am   Am7   Am   Am7
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
       E            Am   Am7   Am   Am7   Am   Am7
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
             E             Am   Am7   Am   Am7   Am   Am7
know I can't always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E             Am   Am7   Am   Am7   Am   Am7      Am
I can't always be playing, playing your fool   fool      uhum
