verse 1 
         D 
        I've been thinking it over 
                         G 
        Wondering what to do 
        A 
        Up to now 
                                    D 
        I've been leaving it up to you 

        But you'll always be 
                             G 
        The way you've always been 
               A 
        And i ain't got the time 
                             D 
        To go through that again 

     D             G 
        I've been wastin' time 

        And i'm to blame 
         D 
        Living with things 
         G 
        I couldn't change 
                D                         A 
        And the one conclusion i've come to 

        I've been wastin' time 
                                 D 
        And a lot of good love on you 

verse 2 
        D 
        I've made up my mind 
                  G 
        To make my move 
         A 
        It's just a waste of time 
                    D 
        To wait on you 

        I'm set to leave 
                              G 
        And you're set in your ways 
         A 
        You can't change 
                                       D 
        And if you can't ... i can't stay 

      D            G 
        I've been wastin' time 

        That i can't spare 
         D 
        Wastin' love 
           G 
        When you don't care 
                D                         A 
        And the one conclusion i've come to 

        I've been wastin' time 
                                 D 
        And a lot of good love on you
