Verse:
B F#m
I’m looking at my watch
Em A
At all the time that’s been stolen
When I was carrying you
Seems I tripped and I’ve fallen
Don’t want no one to ache
Oh, to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh, to be free and inhuman
Chorus:
Some May say I love To Play When the chance is there to take

Verse:
I’m mopping up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I’m packing up the pots
To many cooks in the kitchen
Chorus:
Some may say I let a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste
Solo
Verse:
Let a good thing go to waste
A good thing go to waste
Repeat
Chorus:
No words (phone rings)
Verse:
I’m looking at my watch
At all the time that’s been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I tripped and I’ve fallen
