Waste
Bb Fm F#
i'm looking at my watch
G# Bb
and all the time that's been stolen
Bb Fm F#
when i was carrying you
G# Bb
it seems i'm tripped and i've fallen
Bb Fm F#
don't want no one to ache
G# Bb
oh to be drunk and forgetful
Bb Fm F#
to get out of this unscathed
G#
oh to be free and inhuman
F# G# A#m B
some may say i love to play
C# F# F#-G#
when the chance is there to take
i'm mopping up the floor
the messy recipes of romance
i'm packing up the pots
too many cooks in the kitchen
some may say i love to let
a good thing go to waste
i let it go to waste (repeat)
i'm lookin at my watch
and all the time that's been stolen
when i was carrying you
it seems i've slipped and i've fallen

Then just play the last verse the same as the first and that's it
I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman
Some may say I love to play
When the chance is there to take
I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Some may say I love to let a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
Seems I've tripped and I've fallen
