Intro: Am  Am7  G  G7  F  F7  C  C7

Primeira Parte:

     Am              Am7
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
 G               G7
You believed in superstitions
  F               F7      C    C7
Then maybe you'd see the signs

     Am                   Am7
But 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 loving somebody don't make them love you

Refrão:

       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?

(Segunda Parte:

   Am                 Am7
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
   G                G7
I gave your friends all a chance
 F                    F7                 C         C7
Putting up with them wasn't worth never having you

    Am                         Am7
Oh maybe you've been through this before
          G                 G7
But it's my first time so please ignore
       F               F7                C      C7
These next few lines cause they're directed at you

Refrão:

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you?

I can't always be playing, playing your fool

Terceira Parte:

C                      E
  I keep playing your part
                  F
But it's not my scene
                    G
Want this plot to twist
           F          C
I've had enough mystery
                 E
Keep building it up
                             F
But then you're shooting me down
                 G
But I'm already down

               Am  Am7
Just wait a minute
G       G7           F   F7
  Just sitting, waiting
C       C7       Am  Am7
  Just wait a minute
G       G7          F   F7  C  C7
  Just sitting, waiting

Quarta Parte:

     Am           Am7
Well if I was in your position
     G              G7
I'd put down all my amuntintion
     F                 F7          C   C7
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long
         Am             Am7
But the 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
