[Am]　[Am7]　[G]　[G7]　[F]　[F7]　[C]　[C7]

 

[Am]I was sit[Am7]ting, waiting, wishing

[G]You believed [G7]in superstitions

[F]Then maybe [F7]you'd see the [C]signs[C7]

[Am]But Lord knows that [Am7]this world is cruel

And I[G]　ain't the Lord, [G7]no I'm just a fool

Learni[F]ng loving some[F7]body don't make them [C]love you[C7]

 

Must I [E]alwa[E7]ys be wa[E]iting, [E7]waiting on [Am]you?[Am7]　[Am]　[Am7]

Must I [E]alwa[E7]ys be pl[E]aying, [E7]playing your　[Am]fool?[Am7]　[Am]　[Am7]

 

I [Am]sang your[Am7]　songs I dance your dance

I [G]gave your[G7]　friends all a chance

[F]But putting up with[F7]　them wasn't worth never ha[C]ving you[C7]

And [Am]maybe you been[Am7]　through this before

But it's[G]　my first [G7]time, so please ignore

The[F]　next few lines [F7]'cause they're directed at [C]you[C7]

 

I can't [E]alwa[E7]ys be wa[E]iting, [E7]waiting on [Am]you[Am7]　[Am]　[Am7]

I can't [E]alwa[E7]ys be pl[E]aying, [E7]playing your　[Am]fool[Am7]　[Am]　[Am7]

 

[C]I keep playing your[E]　part, but its not my [F]scene

Want this plot to [G]twist, I've had eno[F]ugh myste[C]ry

Keep building me [E]up, But then shooting me [F]down

But I'm already [G]down

Just wait a mi[Am]nute[Am7]　[G]

[G7]Just sitting wa[F]iting[F7]　[C]

[C7]Just wait a mi[Am]nute[Am7]　[G]

[G7]Just sitting wai[F]ting[F7]　[C]　[C7]

 

We[Am]ll if I was [Am7]in your position

I'd [G]put down all [G7]my ammunition

I'd [F]wonder why [F7]it had taken me so [C]long[C7]

But[Am]　Lord knows [Am7]that I'm not you

[G]And if I was I [G7]wouldn't be so cruel

'Cause[F]　waiting on love [A7]ain't so easy to [C]do[C7]

 

Must I [E]alwa[E7]ys be wa[E]iting, [E7]waiting on [Am]you?[Am7]　[Am]　[Am7]

Must I [E]alwa[E7]ys be pl[E]aying, [E7]playing your[Am]　fool?[Am7]　[Am]　[Am7]

No I can't [E]alwa[E7]ys be wa[E]iting, wa[E7]iting on [Am]you[Am7]　[Am]　[Am7]

I can't [E]alwa[E7]ys be pl[E]aying, pl[E7]aying your[Am]　fool[Am7]　[E]fool...[E7]　[Am]
