INTRO: A G D ( A G D A7 )
D D
I love my life of leisure when the weekend arrives,
D D
I can motorcyle, rollerblade, skateboard or drive
G G7
to a single espresso at a seaside cafe,
D D
enjoy the colors spreadin' over the bay.
A G
Inspiring brew, a bracing view,
D A7
but they're both wasted without you.
D D
I make my way to work the other days of the week;
D D
I dazzle my employer with my technicalspeak;
G G7
my career's like extortion without usin' a gun;
D D
it's also my social life - or close as I come.
A G
Not only that, there's money too
D D7
but it's all wasted without you.
G D
It's not that I'm ungrateful for the cushy life I've led
G D
I'm certainly not wishin' to be poor or sick or dead.
G D6
It's just that bein' yours would be a hell
E7 A7
of a reason to be wealthy, live, and well...
G D
I got a loaf o' bread a jug o' wine yet all I see is how
E A
wasted they are without the thou.
D D
I watch public television, read what Oprah says I should;
D D
I get smarter & smarter but it does me no good.
A G
I'm so darned clever I don't know what to do,
D D7
such wit is wasted without you.
G D
It's not that I'm ungrateful for my well-earned life of ease.
G D
I'll try to keep avoidin' poverty death and disease.
G D6
It's just that bein' yours would be one hell
E7 A7
of a reason to be wealthy, live, and well, ..
G7 D7.
Although I've so much love I just don't know what I can do -
( A G ) ( D A G7 D )
I just get wasted without you.
( A G ) ( D G7 D D )
I just get wasted, wasted without you.
