The Waiting Game

Intro: 
D Bm F#m G 
D      Bm 
 Oh-oh-oh 
      F#m G 
Oh-oh-oh 



[Verso 1]
 
D                                                             G 
 You can romanticise your shortcomings, ignore your agency to stop 

Write a ballad with the details, while skimming off the top 
D                                  G 
 A personality, considering you've been a little overhonest lately 
Bb             Bm              Em  A7 
  And you apologise, a dirty clown 
 


[Refrão]
 
D                             Bm 
You found someone to put your arms around 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
       G 
But it all adds up to nothing 
D                      Bm 
You try and you always justify 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
        G 
When it all adds up to nothing 
 


[Pós-Refrão]
 
D Bm 
                    F#m  G 
Playing the waiting game 
 


[Verso 2]
 
D 
 Do you tantalise or titilate? 
                          G 
Knowing it won't make the grade? 

Do you leave it on the table? 
Bb         Bm                Em 
  You apologise, emotionally dry 
    A7 
And years go by 
 


[Refrão]
 
D                             Bm 
You found someone to put your arms around 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
       G 
But it all adds up to nothing 
D                           Bm 
You tried messing with your own design 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
       G 
And it all adds up to nothing 
 


[Pós-Refrão]
 
D Bm 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
       G 
But it all adds up to nothing

D Bm 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
       G 
And it all adds up to nothing
