[Verse 1]
G
Standing at the back door, she tried to make it fast.
Em
One tear hit the hardwood, it fell like broken glass.
C D
She said sometimes love slips away, and you just can't get it back.
G
Let's face it.
G
For one split second, she almost turned around.
Em
But that would be like pouring rain drops, back into a cloud.
C D G
So she took another step, said I see the way out and I'm gonna take it.
[Chorus]
G
I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting,
Em
To wake up one day and find,
C D G
That I've let all these years go by, wasted.
[Verse 2]
G
Another glass of whiskey, but it still don't kill the pain.
Em
So he stumbles to the sink, and pours it down the drain.
C D
He said it's time to be a man, and stop living for yesterday.
G
Gotta face it.
[Chorus]
G
'Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting,
Em
To wake up one day and find,
C D G
That I've let all these years go by, wasted.
G
Oh-oh, I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing,
Em
The still of the morning, the color of the night
C D G Am
I ain't spending no more time, wasted.
[Bridge]
G/B C G/B
She kept driving along, till the moon and the sun,
Am Am
were floating side by side.
G/B C G/B
He looked in the mirror, and his eyes were clear,
F Em G
for the first time, in a while. Yeah-yeah
[Chorus]
G
Oh-oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting,
Em
To wake up one day and find,
C D G
That I've let all these years go by, wasted.
G
Oh-oh, I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing,
Em
The still of the morning, the color of the night
C D G G Em
I ain't spending no more time, wasted.
