Jack Johnson – Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
Intro:
Am Am7G G7 F C C7
* * * *
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse]
Am Am7
* *
I sang your songs, I danced your dance
G G7
I gave your friends all a chance
F F7 C C7
* *
But putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
Am Am7
* *
Or 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
[Chorus]
E E7 E E7 Am Am7 Am Am7
I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you?
E E7 E E7 Am Am7 Am Am7
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool?
[Verse]
C E F
I keep playing your part, but it's not my scene
G F
Want this plot to twist, I've had enough mystery
C E F
Keep building it up, but then you're shooting me down
G
But I'm already down, just wait a minute
Am7G G7
*Am *
Just sitting, waiting
F F7 C C7
* *
Just wait a minute
Am7G G7
*Am *
Just sitting, waiting
F F7 C C7
* *
Am Am7
* *
Well if I was in your position,
G G7
I'd put down all my ammunition
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
[Chorus]
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?
E E7 E E7 Am7 Am Am7
No, I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you?
E E7 E E7 Am Am7 E E7 Am
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool... fool...
