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?

And if you could've tried to trust the hand that fed

You would've never been hungry but you never really be

The more of this or less of this or is there any difference

Building with bent nails we're falling but holding,
C Am D
I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time
Sometimes time doesn't heal, no, not at all
Just stand still while we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
It won't let me in
Always lookin out

Always lookin
oooooooh ooooohhhh oooh ooh oooh ooh

Am C
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
F C
Well it might not work because of other ties
Am C
And I know she usually has some other ties
F C
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break em
Am C
Maybe she'll help me to untie this
F G
But until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to her.
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go

It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
