VERSE 1:
Well [G#m] I was sitting, [G#m7] waiting, wishing
[F#] You believed in [F#7] superstitions
[E] Then maybe you'd [E7] see the [B] signs [B7]

VERSE 2:
The [G#m] Lord knows that this [G#m7] world is cruel
And I [F#] ain't the Lord, no I'm [F#7] just a fool
And in [E] love with somebody [E7] don't make them [B] love you [B7]

CHORUS:
Must I [D#] al-[D#7]-ways be [D#] wait-[D#7]-ing
Waiting on [G#m] you [G#m7] [G#m] [G#m7]
Must I [D#] al-[D#7]-ways be [D#] play-[D#7]-ing
Playing your [G#m] fool [G#m7] [G#m] [G#m7]

VERSE 3:
I [G#m] sang your songs; I [G#m7] danced your dance
I [F#] gave your friends [F#7] all a chance
[E] Putting up with them [E7] wasn't worth ever having [B] you [B7]

VERSE 4:
Ah [G#m] maybe you've been through [G#m7] this before
But it's [F#] my first time so [F#7] please ignore
These [E] next few lines because [E7] they're directed at [B] you [B7]

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
I keep [B] playing your [D#] part, but its not my [E] scene
Want this plot to [F#] twist, I've had [E] enough mystery [B]
You keep building it [D#] up, then keep shooting me [E] down
But I'm already [F#] down

INTERLUDE:
Just wait a min-[G#m]-ute [G#m7]
[F#] Just [F#7] sitting, wait-[E]-ing [E7]
[B] [B7] Just wait a min-[G#m]-ute [G#m7]
[F#] Just [F#7] sitting, wait-[E]-ing [E7] [B] [B7]

VERSE 5:
Well [G#m] if I was in [G#m7] your position
I'd [F#] put down all my [F#7] ammunition
I'd [E] wonder why it had [E7] taken me so [B] long [B7]

VERSE 6:
But the [G#m] lord knows that [G#m7] I'm not you
And [F#] if I was, I wouldn't [F#7] be so cruel
Cause [E] waiting on love ain't [E7] so easy to [B] do [B7]

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO:
No I can't [D#] al-[D#7]-ways be [D#] wait-[D#7]-ing
Waiting on [G#m] you [G#m7] [G#m] [G#m7]
I can't [D#] always [D#7] be [D#] playing [D#7]
Playing your fool [G#m] [G#m7], [D#] fool [D#7] Mmm.. mmm [G#m open]
