   Great song by a great band! This is the first non-happy song I've
   heard from them. Like with all their songs, you have to tune down
   one note to play along to the CD.
   
   
   VERSE 1:
   --------
   B                   F#m
     I'm lookin' at my watch
   Em7                            A7 
      At all the time that's been stolen
   B                     F#m
     When I was carrying you
   Em7                              A7 
     It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
   
   
   VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
   --------
   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: [see tab below]
   -------
   E*        A7
   Some, may say
     E*       Am7
   I love, to play
            D*                 G*      F#* 
   When the chance is there to take
   
   
   CHORUS-TAB:
   -----------
      E*              A7              E*             Am7

   B-----------3-3---------------0-------------0-0-|
   G--------------------------------------3-3--3-3-| <- strum that chord

    [the second and third time you play the chorus tab in the song it
     might have some tiny variations, but I don't wanna bother to tab
     them out, it's basically the same.]
   
   
   VERSE 3: [play like verse 1]
   --------
   I'm moppin' up the floor
   From messy recipes of romance
   I'm packin' up the pots
   Too many cooks in the kitchen
   
   
   CHORUS: [play like previous chorus]
   -------
   Some, may say
   I love, to let
   a good thing go to waste
   I let it go to waste

   BRIDGE:
   -------
   B                F#m           Em7              A7
   Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
   B                F#m           Em7              A7
   Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
   
   
   [PLAY CHORUS-TAB ONCE]
   
   
   VERSE 4:
   --------
   B                   F#m
     I'm lookin' at my watch
   Em7                            A7 
      At all the time that's been stolen
   B                     F#m
     When I was carrying you
   Em7                              A7 
     It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
