  			Wasted Years  


               Em                              D  
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas 
        Em            D 
I'm travelling on, far and wide 
          C                               Em 
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself 
                 D                                        C 
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else 

   Em                       D  
I close my eyes, and think of home 
            Em                        D 
Another city goes by, in the night 
           C                                   Em 
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away 
            D                                           C 
And my heart is lying there, and will be til my dying day 

G     C   Am     D         C  Am 
So... ...understand 
            Em                           D                         C 
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years 
G            C   Am         D       C  Am 
Face up.....make your stand 
            Em           D             C 
And realize you're living in the golden years 

  Em                                                 D  
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind 
           E                       D 
Can't ease this pain, so easily 
                 C                                                    Em 
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another Day 
            D                                                C 
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the Sky
