What A Waste Of Time To Be Unhappy

    D                A    D
What a waste of time to be unhappy
       D        A             D
What a terrible unpredictable bore
   G            A
It really isn't fair
    D            Bm
You've had more of your share
   G        D          A
of trouble, worry, and care


[Chorus]
(on A string 0-2-4)
            D     G  A
It’s just a state of mind
        D    G  A
it will pass in time
    D       G       A
the sadness in your eye
     D         G       A
will teach you bye and bye
   D    D/C#    Bm
so lift up your eye
    G         A           Dsus4  D
and lose your blue in the sky


[Verse 2]
       D                A    D
what a waste of time to be unhappy
       D                 A        D
what a precious waste of time and space
    G                    A
you might just take your life
        D             Bm
but you haven’t got a knife
    G                    D                  A
and besides no one would miss you from this light


[Chorus]
(on A string 0-2-4)
             D   G   A
Life has her ups and downs
        D   G          A
she has her smiles and frowns
           D    G           A
you should feel lucky to be you
             D          D/C#          Bm
and when you think your blessings are few
               G       A              Dsus4  D
there’s always someone worse off than you
