Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Standard tuning
Original key: A


E              E7
I was sitting, waiting, wishing
D               D7
You believed in superstitions
C              C7            G         G7
Then maybe you would see the signs


But lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain't the lord no I'm just a fool
Learning loving somebody - don't make them love you


       H                             Em
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
       H                               Em
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?


I sang your songs I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But 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
The next few lines because they're directed at you


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


G                   H                     C
I keep playing your part, but it's not my scene
                  D                      C
Want this plot to twist, I've had enough mystery


You keep building it up
But then you're shooting me down
But I'm already down
Just wait a minute


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


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


But lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
Because waiting on love ain't so easy to do


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