[Verse 1]
A                                        D    E
Roaming 'round your house, wasting your time
A                                D   E
No obligation just wasting your time
A                                  D   E
So why are you alone wasting your time?
A                                       D   E
When you could be with me wasting your time
 
[Chorus]
D                E
I'm a waste like you,
      D               E
with nothing else to do
    D       A          E
May I waste your time too?
 
[Riff]
A A D E (x2)
 
[Verse 2]
A                                  D   E
Warding off regrets, wasting your time
A                                  D   E
Smoking cigarrettes, wasting your time
A                                 D   E
I'm just a parasite wasting your time
A                                D   E
Applying myself to wasting your time
 
[Chorus]
D                E
I'm a waste like you,
      D               E
with nothing else to do
    D       A          E
May I waste your time too?
 
[Riff] (x2)
 
[Bridge]
F# D (x3), E
 
A                                  D   E
So why are you alone wasting your time?
A                                       D   E
When you could be with me wasting your time
D                E
I'm a waste like you,
      D               E
with nothing else to do
 
    D       A          E
May I waste your time too?
    D       A         E
May I waste your time too?
    D       A         E
May I waste your time too?
    D        A         E
May I waste your time too?

Sounds great on the acoustic guitar!

Either you call the F# a F#m either you add power chords everywhere so it gives A5, D5, E5 and F#5 ;)

It's WARDING off regrets.
