[Strophe]
    Am              Am7 
Well I was sittin', waitin', 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 
and I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool  
         F               F7              C        C7 
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you 
[Refrain]
       E  E7     E        E7         Am*  Am7*  Am*  Am7* 
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you  
       E  E7     E        E7           Am*  Am7*  Am*  Am7* 
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 
[Strophe]
  Am                 Am7 
I sang your songs, I danced your dance  
  G                 G7 
I gave your friends all a chance  
    F 
But putting up with them  
F7                 C            C7 
Wasn't worth never having you  
    Am                        Am7 
Aw, maybe you've been through this before  
         G                G7 
But it's my first time so please ignore  
    F                    F7                     C    C7 
The next few lines cause they're directed at you 
[Refrain]
       E  E7     E        E7           Am*  Am7*  Am*  Am7* 
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you  
       E  E7     E        E7           Am*  Am7*  Am*  Am7* 
I can't always be playing, playing your fool 
[Pont]
C                     E                    F 
  I keep playing your part but it's not my scene  
                  G               F          C 
Want this plot to twist I've had enough mystery  
                      E                   F 
You keep building it up then shootin' me down  
                 G                 Am   Am7 
But I'm already down just wait a minute  
G      G7         F    F7 
  Just sittin', waitin'  
C      C7        Am  Am7 
  Just wait a minute 
G      G7         F    F7 
  Just sittin', waitin' 
C  C7
[Strophe]
      Am          Am7 
Well, if I was in your position  
    G               G7 
I'd put down all my ammunition  
    F               F7          C     C7 
I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long  
    Am                  Am7 
But 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 
[Refrain]
       E  E7     E        E7           Am*  Am7*  Am*  Am7* 
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you  
       E  E7     E        E7           Am*  Am7*  Am*  Am7* 
Must I always be playing, playing your fool  
            E  E7     E        E7         Am*  Am7*  Am*  Am7* 
No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you  
        E  E7     E        E7           Am*  Am7*  E   E7     Am 
I can't always be playing, playing your fool        fool
