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

It's not a case of telling the truth
Some lines just fit the situation
You call me a liar, you would anyway
It's not a case of aiming to please
You know you're always crying
It's just your part in the play for today
