lyrics

WASTE OF TIME

verse: G G C G Em Em C G
chorus: Em Em C G
bridge: Em C G G Em C D D Em C G D Em C...G

i was born in your town / seems a hundred years ago
the shadow that's behind me / ain't the only one i know
i left you once before, oh / but i am here to stay

[ch]
i can promise you tomorrow
i can't give you much today

i went through the canyon / & came out by the lake
i was thinking of forgiveness
can i make one more mistake?
i am still a poor man / & that's not my only crime

[ch]
you deserve a better offer
am i just a waste of time?

[br]
& change is just a product of regret
& so i've changed & i'm not finished yet
but i can't change the past, & i can't change your mind
i can only pray...i'm not a waste of time

i've been down new orleans
& through the carolines
i've gambled with my virtue
& lost every time
& you would never say it
but i have drawn the line

[ch] x3
oh i do not deserve you
i am a waste of time
