Intro + Verse:

|Am-Am7-|G-G7-|F-F7-|c-C7-| repeat

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs

The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, I'm just a fool
and in love with somebody don't make them love you


Chorus:

|E---|E7---|Am-Am7-|Am-Am7|

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

Verse:

|Am-Am7-|G-G7-|F-F7-|c-C7-| repeat

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you

Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
These next few lines because they're directed at you


Chorus:

|E---|E7---|Am-Am7-|Am-Am7|

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


Middle:
(play open C here)

|C---|E7---|F---|G-F-|

|C---|E7---|F---|G-G-|


I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute


Verse:

|Am-Am7-|G-G7-|F-F7-|c-C7-| repeat

Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my amuntintion
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long

But the lord knows that I'm not you
and if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do


Chorus:

|E---|E7---|Am-Am7-|Am-Am7|

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
