[Verse 1]
Bm         A                    Bm                   A               Bm
It's not a case of doing what's right, it's just the way I feel that matters
            A                     G
Tell me I'm wrong, I don't really care

Bm         A                 Bm             A             Bm
It's not a case of share and share alike, I take what I require
             A                       G
I don't understand, you say it's not fair

[Chorus]
C#m              D
You expect me to act like a lover
   C#m                  D
Consider my moves and deserve the reward
C#m         D              C#m
To hold you in my arms and wait ...
    Cmaj7
And wait ...
                          Bm     A
And wait for something to happen

[Verse 2]
Bm         A                   Bm                     A           Bm 
It's not a case of telling the truth, some lines just fit the situation
          A                      G
Call me a liar, you would anyway

Bm         A                 Bm                      A             Bm
It's not a case of aiming to please, you know you're always crying
               A           G
It's just your part in the play for today
