Wasted time      (Listen to midi)       (Listen to sample)

 

    C - Fm   C  - Dm - G7

 

   C                                     Fm

1.   Well, baby, there you stand,

C                                                         Dm               - G7

    with your little head down in your hand.

      F                 Am                           Dm               Am

     Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again,

              F                                 Am                    Dm               G7

    your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end.

 

    C                                                            - Fm

2.     And you're back out on the street,

C                                    Dm          - G7

    and you're tryin' to remember.

       F                          Am           Dm                               - Am

    How do you start it over? You don't know if you can,

             F                                 Am                     

    you don't care much for a stranger's touch,

                 Dm                     G7

    but you can't hold your man.

 

Am                                              E           G     D

    You never thought you'd be alone this far down the line,

          F                                             Em

    and I know what's been on your mind,

                  Dm                      G        C

    you're afraid it's all been wasted time.

 

Bm                     E                              Am

    The autumn leaves have got you thinking,

Bm                 E                        Am

    about the first time that you fell.

Bm                 E                - Am                 - C

    You didn't love the boy         too much,       no no,

                  - F     - C                Fm       - F    G     

    you just      lo…ved the boy too we….ll, well.

 

   C                                        Fm

3.     So you live from day to day,

C                                              Dm  G7

    and you dream about tomorrow, oh.

                    F                        Am                     Dm                       Am

    And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay,

               - F                                     - Am      Dm                     G7  - E

    so you      take a little something          to make them go away.

 

Am                                           E            

    And I could have done so many things, baby,

G                                       D

    if I could only stop my mind

              F                              Em

    from wond'rin' what I left behind,

                     Dm                        G        C

    and from worryin' ‘bout this wasted time.

 

      G#                                                C

    Ooh, another love has come and gone.

     G#                                                C

    Ooh, and the years keep rushing on.

            F                          Am                         Dm                             - Am

    I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:

                           - F                        - Am                 Dm          G      - E

    sometimes to     keep it together          we got to leave it alone.

 

          Am                                     E            

    So you can get on with your search, baby,

G                                       D

    and I can get on with mine.

              F                                   Em

    And maybe someday we will find

                Dm                G        C       - F - C

     that it wasn't really wasted time.
