Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Jack Johnson

Am Am7  G G7  F F7  C C7
                  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

          Well, 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

                                     E E7          E           E7              Am  Am7  Am Am7
                          Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
                          Must I always be playing, playing the fool?

          I sing ya songs, I dance a dance
          I gave ya friends all a chance
          But putting up with them wasn't worth never having you

          Ah, maybe you been through this before
          But it's my first time, so please ignore
          The next few lines cause they're directed at you

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

                                      C                                 E7                             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
                                                                    E7                                                 F
                                         Keep building it up, but then you're shooting me down
                                                                      G
                                         Well, I'm already down

                                                                                Am   Am7
                                                         Just wait a minute
                                                       G      G7             F    F7   C C7
                                                         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'd it had taken me so long

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

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

                          No, I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
                          I can't always be playing, playing your fool, fool...
