 Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh 


 
D                                                             G 
 You can romanticise your shortcomings, ignore your agency to stop 

Write a ballad with the details, while skimming off the top 
D                                  G 
 A personality, considering you've been a little overhonest lately 
Bb             Bm              Em  A7 
  And you apologise, a dirty clown 
 

 
D                             Bm 
You found someone to put your arms around 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
       G 
But it all adds up to nothing 
D                      Bm 
You try and you always justify 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
        G 
When it all adds up to nothing 
 

 
D Bm 
                    F#m  G 
Playing the waiting game 
 

 
D 
 Do you tantalise or titilate? 
                          G 
Knowing it won't make the grade? 

Do you leave it on the table? 
Bb         Bm                Em 
  You apologise, emotionally dry 
    A7 
And years go by

You found someone to put your arms around

Playing the waiting game 
       G 
But it all adds up to nothing 
D                           Bm 
You tried messing with your own design 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
       G 
And it all adds up to nothing 
 

 
D Bm 
                    F#m 
Playing the waiting game 
       G 
But it all adds up to nothing
