Keith Urban - Wasted Time
Chorded By:  Jeff Martin
Tuning:  Standard
G Am C F C F C
The rain is Gcoming down toAmnight
 CI'm Fsmiling looking at this photograph
 CI Fhear that song and I'm flying right Cback
To Gwhen we had it Ammade
 CEvery FFriday night when the sun went down
 CWe'd be Frunning them streets like we owned the town
   C  GAnd I just can't let it go, noAm, I just can't let it go
  CI wFonder if you ever think    C  Fabout it like I do
GSeven kids on my two lane road
AmHad the guns on the radio
   C  FAfter all this time it still feels,   C  Ffeels so good
When I think Gabout those Dsummer Cnights
Singing out the Gwindow, on the back roads, DSweet CChild of Mine
Sipping on the Glocal's Dspark of Clight
Ain't it Emfunny how the best Ddays of my Clife
                     G   D                   C   G   D   C(D)
Was all that wasted time, all that wasted time
Out of Gnowhere, it slipped aAmway
CAnd Fthe rope by the river hangs silently
CAnd Fthe town that I knew ain't nothing like it Cused to Gbe I, I can't Amexplain
CThey Ftook all the color from the picture frame
CAnd Fthe days got sold to the grid and the Cgame
GBut I just can't let it go, noAm, I just can't let it go
  CI wFonder if you ever think    C  Fabout it like I do
GSeven kids on my two lane road
AmHad the guns on the radio
   C  FAfter all this time it still feels,   C  Ffeels so good
When I think Gabout those Dsummer Cnights
Singing out the Gwindow, on the back roads, DSweet CChild of Mine
Sipping on the Glocal's Dspark of Clight
Ain't it Emfunny how the best Ddays of my Clife
Was all that wasted GtiDmeC, all that wasted GtiDmeC  
Swingin' on the GliDneC, living' all that waisted GtiDmeC  
Hey, hey, now G(sGolGo)G  
Summer Gdresses rained on the hood of the car
Only Ammusic that we had was out the left speaker
CWe Fwere living every second 'til the time ran out
FWe had Cnothing but we had it all
(maybe not play guitar here for this chorus)
When I think Gabout those Dsummer Cnights
Sneaking out the Gwindow, rolling back roads, Dyour Chand in mine
We were going' Gnowhere, we were Dso Calive
Ain't it Emcrazy how the Dbest days of my Clife
Was all that wasted GtiDmeC, all that wasted GtiDmeC  
                             G   D                            C   G   D   C(D)
We were swingin' out on the line, living' all that waisted time
Hey, you know oh, all that wasted GtiDmeC  
Don't you feel it coming on back now, GtiDmeC, time, time

The rain is coming down tonight

Seven kids on my two lane road

Had the guns on the radio
