Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 What a waste, I could've been your lover

 What a waste, I could've been your friend

 Perfect love is like a blossom that fades so quick

 When it's blowing up a storm in May

 Travel south until your skin turns warmer

 Travel south until your skin turns brown

 Put a language in your head and get on a train

 And then come back to the one you love

 Yeah you're great, you're just part,

 of this lifetime of dreaming

 That extends to the heart

 of this long summer feeling

 Quiet night, you see the tv's glowing

 Quiet night, you hear the walls are awake

 Me and you are getting out of a party crowd

 Can I see what's underneath your bed?

 Can I stay until the milkman's working?

 Can I stay until the café awakes?

 Do you hate me in the light? Did you get a fright?

 When you looked across from where you lay

 Yeah you're great, you're just part,

 of this lifetime of dreaming

 That extends to the heart

 of this long summer feeling

 All the history of boys

 I invent in my head

 Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John

 All the history of boys

 I invent in my head

 Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John

 What a waste, I could've been your lover

 What a waste, I could've been your friend
