                Ab  
Standing at the back door  
   
       Ab  
She tried to make it fast  
  
 Fm  
One tear hit the hard wood  
  
    Fm  
It felt like broken glass  
  
                     Db  
She said sometimes love slips away  
  
             Eb  
And you just can't get it back  
  
         Ab  
Let's face it  
  
      Ab  
For one split second  
  
          Ab  
She almost turned around  
   
                     Fm  
But that would be like pouring rain drops  
  
  Fm  
Back into a cloud  
  
           Db  
So she took another step and said  
   Eb                                           Ab  
I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it  
  
Ab                                      Ab  
I don't wanna' spend my life jaded  
  
Ab            Fm                           Fm7  
Waiting to wake up one day and find  
  
             Db                           Eb  
That I've let all these years go by  
  
Ab  
Wasted  
  
Ab                                         Ab  
Another glass of whisky but it still don't kill the pain  
           Fm                               Fm  
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain  
                  Db                                   Em  
He says it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday  
  
         Ab  
gotta Face it.  
  
  
Ab                                      Ab  
I don't wanna' spend my life jaded  
  
Ab            Fm                           Fm7  
Waiting to wake up one day and find  
  
             Db                           Eb  
That I've let all these years go by  
  
Ab  
Wasted  
  
    Ab                                  Ab         Ab  
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing  
  
       Fm                             Fm7  
the still of the morning' the color of the night  
  
           Db                      Eb  
I ain't spending no more time  
  
Ab  
Wasted  
  
               Fm7  
She kept drivin' along  
  
            Ab                                         Fm   Eb Db  
Till the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side  
  
       Fm7                                                 Ab      
He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear  
           
           Fm         Eb     Db  
For the first time in a while  
  
         Ab  
Hey, yeah,  
  
Ab                                      Ab  
I don't wanna' spend my life jaded  
  
Ab            Fm                           Fm7  
Waiting to wake up one day and find  
  
             Db                           Eb  
That I've let all these years go by

    Ab                                  Ab         Ab  
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing  
  
       Fm                             Fm7  
the still of the morning' the color of the night  
  
           Db                      Eb  
I ain't spending no more time

Ab            Fm                           Fm7  
Waiting to wake up one day and find  
  
             Db                           Eb  
That I've let all these years go by  
  
Ab  
Wasted
