It sounds best when you only hit the three lower strings.

Intro: 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
Then maybe you'd see the signs 
    Am                   Am7
The Lord knows that this world is cruel 
  G                      G7          
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool 
         F               F7              C
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you 
       E                             Am     Am7   Am   Am7 
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E                               Am   Am7   Am   Am7  
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 
  Am                 Am7 
I sang your songs, I danced your dance 
  G                 G7
I gave your friends all a chance 
    F        
But putting up with them 
F7                 C            C7
Wasn't worth never having you 
Am                        Am7
Maybe you've been through this before 
         G                G7
But it's my first time so please ignore 
    F                    F7
The next few lines cause they're directed at you 
       E                             Am     Am7   Am   Am7 
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E                               Am   Am7   Am   Am7  
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 
C                   E                    F              
I keep playing your part but it's not my scene 
     F            G               F
Want this plot to twist I've had enough mystery 
C                    E                   F
You keep building it up then shooting me down 
        F       G         G              
But I'm already down just wait a minute 
Am Am7 G     G7          F    F7
        Just sitting, waiting 
C    C7        Am  Am7  G    G7       F        F7  C  C7              
Just wait a minute      Just sitting, waiting 
      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'd it taken me so long 
    Am                  Am7
But 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 aint so easy to do 
       E                             Am     Am7   Am   Am7 
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E                               Am   Am7   Am   Am7  
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 
              E                             Am   Am7   Am   Am 
No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you 
        E                                Am   Am7   Am   Am 
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
