 I was sit-ting wait-ing wish-ing

 5  -4   -4   4  -4  5  -4   4
You be-lieved in su-per-sti-tions

 -4   5  -4   4    4   4   -4
Then may-be you'd see the signs

-6   7    -6    -4   -4    5   6    5
But Lord knows that this world is cruel

-3” -3”   5    6   5   -3”  -3”  5   6  5
And  I  ain't the Lord. No, I'm just a fool

Learn-ing lov-ing some-bo-dy 

  4    4    4    4    4
Don't make them love you

Must I al-ways be wait-ing

Wait-ing on   you?

Play-ing your fool?

 I gave your friends all a chance

 5   5   -4  4   -3”  4
But put-ting up with them 

 4   4   -4   4   5   4   4  -3” 4
Was-n't worth ne-ver hav-ing  you

May-be you’ve been 

   5     5   6   5
Through this be-fore

But it's my first time

So please ig-nore

 5   5   -4    4
The next few lines

Want this plot to twist

  6   6 -5  -5   -5  6  6
I've had e-nough mys-te-ry

 6   6     7    7  7  -7
You keep build-ing me up

Well if I was in your po-si-tion

 5   5   6    5  -3” 5 6  5   5
I'd put down all my am-mu-ni-tion

I'd won-der why 

-3” 4   4  4  -4 4  6  5
It had tak-en me so long

But Lord knows that I'm not you

-3” 5  6  5 -4   5   -4  5  6    5
And if I was I would-n't be so cruel

Wait-ing on love ain't so eas-y to do
