[Verse 1]
GStanding at the back door, she tried to make it fast.
EmOne tear hit the hardwood, it fell like broken glass.
She said someCtimes love slips away, and you jDust can't get it back.
Let's fGace it.
For Gone split second, she almost turned around.
But that would Embe like pouring rain drops, back into a cloud.
So she Ctook another step, said I Dsee the way out and I'm gGonna take it.
[Chorus]
GI don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting,
To Emwake up one day and find,
That I've Clet all these years go Dby, wGasted.
[Verse 2]
AGnother glass of whiskey, but it still don't kill the pain.
So he Emstumbles to the sink, and pours it down the drain.
He said it's Ctime to be a man, and stop Dliving for yesterday.
Gotta fGace it.
[Chorus]
'Cause GI don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting,
To Emwake up one day and find,
That I've Clet all these years go Dby, wGasted.
Oh-oh, GI don't wanna keep on wishing, missing,
The Emstill of the morning, the color of the night

[Verse 1]

Standing at the back door, she tried to make it fast.

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.

Let's face it.

For one split second, she almost turned around.

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]

I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting,

To wake up one day and find,

C D G

That I've let all these years go by, wasted.

[Verse 2]

Another glass of whiskey, but it still don't kill the pain.

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.

Gotta face it.

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting,

To wake up one day and find,

C D G

That I've let all these years go by, wasted.

Oh-oh, I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing,

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.

He looked in the mirror, and his eyes were clear,

F Em G

for the first time, in a while. Yeah-yeah

[Chorus]

Oh-oh, I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting,

To wake up one day and find,

That I've let all these years go by, wasted.

Oh-oh, I don't wanna keep on wishing, missing,

The still of the morning, the color of the night

I ain't spending no more time, wasted.
