[Verse 1]
D
Common sense would tell me
A
I don't deserve the anxiety
Bm
But don't underestimate the mind
A
When it comes to discounting blessings, I just
[Verse 2]
D
Need a minute, and I will meet you downstairs
A
Misplaced my head but I know it's somewhere
Bm
This mopey introspection is getting old
A
And I'm getting old, and you're getting older

Bm
Deep down, you kind of need it, 'cause at least it's something real
A
You told me
[Outro]
D
You told me there is no such thing as wasted love
A
You told me there is no such thing as wasted love
Bm
You told me there is no such thing as wasted love

You told me there is no such thing as wasted love
