[Intro]
A C#m A C#m D Dm


[Verse 1]
A                  F#m
  Let's get to the heart
of the matter now
A                 F#m
  Of what's going on
A                F#m
  One minute you tell
me you love me
    D
The next I wake up
           Dm
and you're gone
A                  F#m
  I'm getting your signals
all crossed up
A                  F#m
  And I can't tune in
A
  I thought that babe
F#m
you were my lover
    D
But now you're not
        Dm
even my friend


[Chorus 1]
            A
You kept me waiting
        F#m
for the real thing
       Bm           E
So I'm leaving you alone
           A
You're not even worth
    F#m
the paper That these
Bm                 E
words were written on
            A
You kept me waiting for
    D               A   F#m
the real thing all along


[Verse 2]
A                  F#m
  Let's get to the root
of the matter now
A                 F#m
  Is this how you feel?
A              F#m
  You had me believing
                    D
the whole time That our
                      Dm
love was true and for real
A                 F#m
  It's all coming out in the
        A
wash now That you played
  F#m A
a fool And now that the
F#m
whole town is talking
        D
There's ain't nothing
           Dm
left I can do


[Chorus 2]
            A
You kept me waiting
        F#m
for the real thing
       Bm           E
So I'm leaving you alone
           A
You're not even worth
    F#m
the paper That these
Bm                 E
words were written on
A
  I don't want you back
F#m
   I just want you gone
Bm
  Thought you had me girl
E
but you were wrong
      A
I was waiting for the
D               A   Dm
real thing all along


[Bridge]
C#m D
     And I'm waiting
C#m        Bm     A
   And I'm waiting
        E
for the real thing
C#m
   I've been waiting for
    D
the real thing all along
B
  But now I'm here chasing
               E
myself back To find
out what went wrong
One two three


[Chorus 3/Outro]
            A
You kept me waiting
        F#m
for the real thing
       Bm           E
So I'm leaving you alone
           A
You're not even worth
    F#m
the paper That these
Bm                 E
words were written on
            A
You kept me waiting
        F#m
for the real thing
       Bm           E
So I'm leaving you alone
A
  I don't want you back
F#m
   I just want you gone
Bm
  Thought you had me girl
E
but you were wrong
A
  I don't need the show
F#m
   you can hit the road
Bm
  This has got to stop
E
  grab your shit and go
A
  I've been waiting for
    D               A   F#m A F#m
the real thing all along
