 VERSE 1:
Em                                
It’s out of my hands and all I can
             Cmaj7
 do it wait
It’s the not knowing that has put me
                Am
 in this state
The minutes feel like hours, the 
                      B7
tension is too great

I’ve done my part so now it’s in the
 hands of fate...


 CHORUS 1:
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come 
back
     D                      
I shouldn’t have fucked that 
                B7
prostitute without a prophylactic
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come 
back
    D                              
Regret is dripping from me like my 
 B7
semen down her crack
           Em
And now I wait…


 VERSE 2:
Em                                
My nerves, they have been frayed; 
                               Cmaj7
my pants, they have been shat
I know the nurse will say, “It’s 
                      Am
time to have a chat”
At least I’ll never worry about 
                B7
getting... fat
                      (stop)  N/C

I should think positive – no, wait, 
I didn’t say that!


 CHORUS 2:
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come 
back
    D                              
I never should have blown the 
  B7
tranny in my Cadillac
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come 
back
        D                      
I just had to taste that sweet, 
            B7
forbidden nectar from his sack
Em
And now I wait…


 VERSE 3:
Em                          
Is it over, will my jersey be 
            Cmaj7
retired?
Will my name stitched upon a quilt 
              Am
be required?
                                    
            B7 (stop)
Did I make a difference, was my life
 inspired?
N/C
Will Denzel Washington defend me 
when I’m fired?


 CHORUS 3:
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come 
back
 D                             
Eating assholes shouldn’t be an 
  B7
aphrodisiac
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come 
back
D                              B7
If I’m clean I swear to God I will 
stop shooting smack... probably
