A great song by The Classic Crime. Here's the original version off their album 'Albatross'. I highly
recommend the version off their revisited album 'What Was Done: Volume 1'.
Intro:  Em   Em   C   Cx2 
Verse 1: 
EmLost sense (Of) direction , nobody knows my name, 
CConfidence, correction dAmon’t know how to play that game 
EmStraight line is quicker. Straight line would make me fast 
CI’ve burned my nose enough to know Amstraight lines never last 
Pre-Chorus: 
EmSwallow your soul.      EmdCrink from this life.   C  EmAs you cEmhoke on your Cpride C  
Chorus 1: 
                 Em    CWe all look elsewhere x2 
Verse 2: 
EmIt’s safer inside doors, nobody has to flee 
CBroken vessel Ampassed the rocks and out to sea 
EmWaiting, wanting mad with purpose 
CNow we come to talk to one who knows the Amanswer to how
Pre-Chorus: 
EmSwallow your soul.      EmdCrink from this life.   C  EmAs you cEmhoke on your Cpride C  
Chorus 2: 
DDon’t waste your tiEmme if you’ve got it, the Gtides are tuDrning Cnow, you are Emnot alDone 
CThey gave you their wEmorst and you bought it. The Glie has Dbeen expCosed. You are Emnot alDone 
Bridge: 
EmWinter that comes quick in early September 
DThe rain clouds that washed me are what I remember 
CThe stones that I threw piled high like a mountain 
AmWhich I had to climb before DI reached the fountain     
If Emlife is a riddle then Driddle me this: the Bmblood tasted sweet as it Cpassed by my lips 
  C     Em    D  DDon’t,   C     Em    D  Ddon’t waste your CtiEmme D, DDon’t, Cdon’t Emwaste your Dtime. Don’t waste your time
Chorus 2: 
DDon’t waste your tiEmme if you’ve got it, the Gtides are tuDrning Cnow, you are Emnot alDone (Liar! Liar!)
CThey gave you their wEmorst and you bought it. The Glie has Dbeen expCosed. You are Emnot alDone.
