F      Dm7
 Oh-oh-oh
      Am7 Bb7M
Oh-oh-oh


[Primeira Parte]
F7M
  You can romanticise your shortcomings

Ignore your agency to stop
Bb7M
  Write a ballad with the details

While skimming off the top
F7M
     A personality, considering
       Bb7M
You've been a little overhonest lately
E4             Dm7             Gm7  C
     And you apologise, a dirty clown


[Refrão]
F                             Dm7
You found someone to put your arms around
                    Am7
Playing the waiting game
       Bb7M
But it all adds up to nothing
F                      Dm7
You try and you always justify
                    Am7
Playing the waiting game
        Bb7M
When it all adds up to nothing
F Dm7                    Am7  Bb7M
     Playing the waiting game


[Segunda Parte]
F7M
 Do you tantalise or titilate?

Knowing it won't make the grade?
Bb7M
  Do you leave it on the table?
E4         Dm7               Gm7
     You apologise, emotionally dry
    C
And years go by


[Refrão]
F                             Dm7
You found someone to put your arms around
                    Am7
Playing the waiting game
       Bb7M
But it all adds up to nothing
F                           Dm7
You tried messing with your own design
                    Am7
Playing the waiting game
       Bb7M
And it all adds up to nothing
F Dm7                      Am7
     Playing the waiting game
       Bb7M
But it all adds up to nothing


[Final]
F Dm7                      Am7
     Playing the waiting game
       Bb7M
But it all adds up to nothing
