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
