Note: 1 - The ( ) is only meant to make it easier to see the number in the chord 
when the number has 2 digits.
      2 – The chords Am, Am7, C and C7 are played both as open chords and as barre 
depending on the part (i.e: verse, chorus) of the song. So, the * before these 
chord names is just a way to tell them apart from the other form of the same 
chords that is played in other parts of the song.

Jack Johnson – Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Intro: *Am   *Am7   G   G7   F   
  *C   *C7

    *Am              *Am7
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
 G                  G7
You believed in superstitions
 F                F7      *C   *C7
Then maybe you'd see the signs
    *Am                  *Am7
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
        G                    G7
And I ain't the Lord no I'm just a fool
           F              F7              *C     *C7
Learning loving somebody don't make them love you

        E  E7       E        E7       Am   Am7  Am   Am7
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
        E  E7       E        E7         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                   F7                  *C      *C7
But putting up with them wasn't worth never having you
    *Am                      *Am7
Or maybe you've been through this before
          G                  G7
But it's my first time, so please ignore
       F                      F7                *C   *C7
These next few lines ‘cause they're directed at you

         E  E7       E        E7       Am   Am7  Am   Am7
I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you?
         E  E7       E        E7         Am 
 Am7   Am   Am7
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool?

C                        E                     F
   I keep playing your part, but it's not my scene
                    G               F
Want this plot to twist, I've had enough mystery
 C               E                                F
Keep building it up, but then you're shooting me down
                 G
But I'm already down, just wait a minute

*Am   *Am7   G   G7
                Just sitting, waiting
F   F7   *C   *C7
              Just wait a minute
*Am   *Am7   G   G7
                Just sitting, waiting
F   F7   *C   *C7

    *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 it had taken me so long
        *Am            *Am7
But the 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 ain't so easy to do

        E  E7       E        E7       Am   Am7  Am   Am7
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
        E  E7       E        E7         Am  
Am7   Am   Am7
Must I always be playing, playing your fool?
             E  E7       E        E7       
  Am7   Am   Am7
No, I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you?
         E  E7       E        E7         Am 
 Am7   E   E7   Am
I can’t always be playing, playing your fool...    fool...
