NOTE: I'm not 100% sure about this, but it sounds close. Comments/corrections welcome.
Also, due to space restrictions, I couldn't align it so that the rhyme scheme fits every
line. Thus, follow the chords, not the lines (sorry).
INTRO: D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Dsus4-Dsus4 (2x)
(Pause)
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Dsus4-Dsus4 (2x)
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 INTRO
That '73 Montecarlo had a carload of Schlitz and innocence
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 INTRO
Half a pack of Daddy's cigarettes and a cassette of Jimmy Hendrix
G G/B
We parked beside the railroad tracks, kicked back and wondered what life would be like
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Dsus4-Dsus4
If we were presidents
G G/B A N/C D
And let another day fade away wastin' time well spent
CHORUS:
G
A million miles of dirt road dust, learnin' love and lovin' lust
D Dsus2
Tastin' life as it came to us on a dead-end road that had no end
G
Wishin' we could make time fly, not knowin' it was flyin' by
D A
While we were makin' plans that didn't make sense
D Dsus2 G D
Wastin' time, wastin' time, wastin' time well spent
INTRO
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 INTRO
She matched my Tuxedo to a "T" in those pictures on my floor
D Dsus2 D Dsus2
And as I stared at me I could finally see what she saw when she said she coudln't
D INTRO
See me anymore
G G/B
I'll never forget the night we parked on prom night right on the side of a road
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Dsus4-Dsus4
We'd never been
G G/B A D
And let another day fade away wastin' time well spent
CHORUS
SOLO
Bm
Bittersweet what might have been
A
Comes to mind now and then
G
Makes me wanna go back again
D D G D
Waste some time, waste some time, waste some time well spent
(Ad-lib out over INTRO chords)
