[Intro] 
Am  Am7  G  G7  F  F7  C  C7
[Verse]
     Am             Am7               G              G7   
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing you believed in superstitions 
F                F7       C       C7
Then maybe you'd see the signs 
     Am                  Am7              G                      G7
The lord knows that this world is cruel 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    E    E                   Am     Am7   Am   Am7
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E    E    E                   Am     Am7   Am   Am7
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 
[Verse]
  Am                  Am7                 G                 G7
I sang your songs, I danced your dance, I gave your friends all a chance
    F                     F7                C             C7
But putting up with them wasn't worth never having you 
Am                        Am7                     G             G7
Maybe you've been through this before 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    E    E                    Am     Am7   Am   Am7
I can't always be waiting, waiting on you 
        E    E    E                     Am      Am7   Am   Am7 
I can't always be playing, playing your fool 
C      C            E        E           F
I keep playing your part but it's not my scene 
     F              G              F
Want this plot to twist I've had enough mystery 
C    C            E      E           F
Keep building it up then shooting me down 
        F       G         G           (Am)
But I'm already down just wait a minute 
[Bridge]
Am Am7 G      G7         F        F7
         Just sitting, waiting 
C      C7      Am   Am7   |G    G7         F     F7   C   C7
  Just wait a minute      just sitting, waiting 
[Verse]
      Am          Am7               G               G7
Well, if I was in your position I'd put down all my ammunition 
     F              F7          C      C7
I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long 
    Am                 Am7                                G7
But Lord knows that I'm not you  and if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel 
      F                    F7         C     C7
Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do 
[Chorus]
       E   E     E        E          Am    Am7  Am  Am7
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E   E     E        E            Am     Am7  Am   Am7
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 
             E    E     E        E          Am    Am7  Am   Am7
No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you 
        E     E   E        E            Am   Am7  Am  Am7  Am > Let Ring
I can't always be playing, playing your fool      fool
