Wasted On You

G C G C
G D G

  G
 Strung out in Ypsilanti
   C                  G
 I lost about a year ago
     C
 The wind it was leaning
      G
 on a freight train screaming
        D                             G
 in the twilight through the valley below

G
 You were moving slow
 C                     G
 Lying on the bedroom floor
        C
 Looked in your eyes and tethered
           G
 above our heads out hands together
          D                                G
 But your eyes were somewhere else out the door


Em                     D
 Outside the world was tender as a sponge
    C                                 Em           D
 We watched the glaciers melt and the stock-market plunge
         G            D                C             G
 I don't care if it's true, my mind is wasted on you


G
 What's the worst that I can do
C                       G
 Can't hurt myself if I can't hurt you
C               G
 Am I better or getting sick
      D
 I'll run from myself to get away with it

G
 I saw some people standing over a hill
 C                G
 Long black veils hammering down the nails
       C                               G
 Wanna see somebody hurt you, not the way I do
     D
 But nothing seems to change the way I feel about you


                 Em                        D
 I see some some stray dogs playing by the funeral pier
 C                               Em            D
 Leaves of ash are falling on my window by the fire
       G             D               C             G
 And I can't see through, my mind is wasted on you

Em           D
 Pedal steel ringing my head
 C                               Em         D
 wondering if you're sleeping in somebody's bed
         G            D                C             G
 I don't care if it's true, my mind is wasted on you

Em                 D
 Been living in my rear-view mirror
C                         Em           D
 It's coming down and I'm trying to see clear
   G             D               C             G
 I can't see through, my mind is wasted on you
