Sitting Waiting Wishing Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Jack Johnson
(Live)
in concerts jack is recently replacing the last verse with the first verse of the song 
"just what i need" by the cars. instead of singing "well if i was in your postition...", 
it goes on with "i dont mind you coming here...". it has a another melody and slightly 
different chords. enjoy!

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              G            G7
      I don't mind you coming here, 
F   F7             C      C7     
    wasting all my time
Am    Am7                    G            G7
  Cause when you're standing oh so near
F   F7            E
  I kinda lose my mind, yeah
Am     Am7             G             G7
  It's not the perfume that you wear
F      F7             C        C7
  It's not the ribbons in your hair
Am    Am7              G            G7
      I don't mind you coming here, 
F   F7             C      C7
    wasting all my time


       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
