[Intro]
Am Am7 G G7 F F7 C C7
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
