(tuning Eb)

B                 F#m
I'm lookin' at my watch
Em7                  A7
At all the time that's been stolen
B                   F#m
When I was carryin' you
Em7                   A7
Seems I've tripped and I've fallen

B                   F#m
Don't want no one to ache
Em7                    A7
Oh, to be drunk and forgetful
B                 F#m
To get out of this unscathed
Em7                  A7
Oh, to be free and inhuman

(chorus)

When the chance is there to take

B                  F#m
I'm moppin' up the floor
G                      A7
From messy recipies of romance
B                  F#m
I'm packing up the pots
G                    A7
Too many cooks in the kitchen

(chorus)
Some may say
I love to let
A good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste
