Capo on 3rd fret
               
 
 
 
Intro: Am F Am G 
 
Am        G   F                    C     C/B 
Drive around, nighttime nowhere to go 
Am         G    F                    C         C/B  
melts me down, I'm like wax to your jokes 
Am           G    F                    C       C/B 
Lost and found, knocking heads, laying low 
Am                F                   G   
there's no point reliving crimes to lose this 
 
                      F 
still wanna waste all of my time 
                   Am 
I wanna waste all of my time 
                      F 
still wanna waste all of my time 
                  Am     G 
I wanna waste all of my time with you 
 
Am                F              G 
Oh my lover my lover my love 
             C   C/B    Am 
we can never go back 
            F        G 
we can only do our best  
         C   C/B 
To recreate 
 
Am                    F          G 
Don't turn over turn over the page 
                  C       C/B 
we should rip it straight out 
Am               F 
and lets try our very best  
    G 
to fake it  
 
Am       G    F              C    C/B 
Show me joy, flower through disarray 
Am        G            F             C    C/B 
lets destroy, each mistake that we made 
Am      G      F                 C      C/B 
Then restore colour back to the grey 
Am                    F               G 
there's no pride in sharing scars to prove it  
 
                      F 
still wanna waste all of my time 
                   Am 
I wanna waste all of my time 
                      F 
still wanna waste all of my time 
                  Am     G 
I wanna waste all of my time with you 
 
Am                F              G 
Oh my lover my lover my love 
             C   C/B    Am 
we can never go back 
            F        G

Am                    F 
Help me turn a blind eye 
C                  C/B 
days and nights we lost to weakness 
Am                    F
