Kris Delmhorst - Wasted Word
INTRO:    G     C     D  G  
Every little wasted word
Every little Cwasted smile
Every little Dwasted year
Every little Gwasted mile
We're gonna leave them all right here
Yeah, we're gonna leave them Call behind
Every little Dwasted word
I think I'm gonna Gmake them mine
Funny way about this life
Things tend to Ccome around
Like every time you Dpull me up
Then you Glet me down
One day we can dance on air
Then we're back down Cin the street again
Just like every time the Dtide rolls out
The tide Grolls back in
CHORUS:
Oh, every little Cwasted word
And every little Gwasted smile
And every little Dwasted year
Yeah, every little Gwasted mile
Ooh, we're gonna leave them Call right here
Yeah, we're gonna leave them Gall right now
Every little Dwasted word
We're gonna make them Gtrue somehow
I guess we know that I lost you
Yeah, I guess we know you Clost me too
And then I guess we know we Dboth did things
We never ever really Gthought we'd do
So baby, don't you dry those tears
Why don't you just Clet 'em flow
Hmm, then we'll take Dall those years
And just Glet 'em go
INSTRUMENTAL:   C    G    D    G    C    G  D  
I loved you 'til I Gcouldn't stand
Loved you 'til I Ccouldn't see
And then I loved you 'til I Dcouldn't find
My way Gback to me
So, I'm calling it a lovely time
Calling it a Clovely day
And then I'm calling it a Dlovely place
Yeah, to just Gwalk away
CHORUS:
Oh, every little Cwasted word
And every little Gwasted smile
And every little Dwasted year
Yeah, every little Gwasted mile
Oh, we're gonna leave them aCll right here
We're gonna leave them Gall right now
Every little Dwasted word
We're gonna make them Gtrue somehowD  C  G  D  C  G
