Waste of Time - Alex the Astronaut
Capo 7
[Verse 1]
C
Its too early for a song
C
Much too early for a song
Em G
Please forgive cause I wrote you one
F
Allow me to explain
F
Although it all might change
C
The words came in and paved themselves
G
I shouldn't be to blame
C
Deep inside I sometimes feel
A spinning, uninvited wheel
Em
The pain that?s all around
G
It settles in me
F
Sadness that I keep
F
I thought it made me weak
C
And now I've met your soul its left me
G
With the space to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
I've been racing all my life
F
For some unholy prize
C G
And I don't care about it
Am Em
Making everybody proud
F
Looking up and running round
D E
And it wears me out
[Chorus]
C
So wake up late
Em
And let's take our time
F
Drink tequila with too much lime
Am
Cause lately I've come to find
G C
That all I want is one incredible waste of time
It's so easy
Em
Warm and light
And I'm feeling
F
Happy cause I know our song
Am G
Will go on and on and on
This waste of time
[Verse 2]
C
Your brother taught you how to dance
Em
Then you taught me how to dance
G F
Watch you watch me with the eyes your mother gave you and your hands
Held onto my hands
C
Standing on your feet
G
Follow the plodding of the band
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
I've been racing all my life
F
For some unholy prize
C G
And I dont care about it
Am Em
Making everybody proud
F
Looking up and running round
D E
And it wears me out
[Chorus]
C
So wake up late
Em
And let's take our time
F
Drink tequila with too much lime

This waste of time
Em

Am G
On and on and on thi s wasted time
[Bridge]
C Am
When the world is far too bright and you need to close your eyes
Em
To the craziness, the maze that grows
F
And twists along outside
Just find a way to play
Am G
This simple song I made for you to make it go away
[Chorus]
C
So wake up late
Em
And let's take our time

Drink tequila with too much lime
