[Intro]
Dm C G F

[Verse 1]
G
I heard the stomping of feet dancing
            C
On the woo-den floor upstairs
G
I wasn't in the mood for laughing
                    C
So I sat silent in my chair

[Chorus 1]
                            F      Em          Dm
There was some-one missing I knew
              Em                 Am
Outside there fell the rain
F                                 C
Where had she gone? What could I do?
Dm              G            C     F   C
I played the waiting game

[Verse 2]
G
The cigarette smoke was annoying
       C
My mood was fit for a bath
G
A drink couldn't oil my expression
                        C
Nothing could make me laugh

[Chorus 2]
         F            Em            Dm
I was worried out of my head
          Em           Am
I was in such a state
F                               Em
What's keeping her? Where has she gone?
Dm              G           C      F  C  Em
I played the waiting game

[Bridge]
Em
When you love someone
        B                                  Fm
You worry when they're late
                         G#m
When you trust someone
                 Em              Am
You know the time it takes
                   Dm  C       G
To play the wai-ting game
                   Dm  C       G
To play the wai-ting game, oh

[Guitar Solo]
F C F C

[Verse 3]
        G
The music got louder and louder
                C
From the wooden floor upstairs
G
I played with a handful of peanuts
                    C
When I saw her standing there

[Outro]
                         F       Em            Dm
My mood leapt right out of the bath
                    Em                Am
She had got stuck in the rain
       F                             Em
Her coat dripped on a hanger
Dm             G
Playing the waiting
F                         Em
I couldn't under-stand her
Dm             G
Playing the waiting
F                               Em
Seemed like I'd wait forever
Dm             G            C    F   C
Playing the waiting game
