INTRO: G C D G
Every little wasted word
Every little [C]wasted smile
Every little [D]wasted year
Every little [G]wasted mile
We're gonna leave them all right here
Yeah, we're gonna leave them [C]all behind
Every little [D]wasted word
I think I'm gonna [G]make them mine
Funny way about this life
Things tend to [C]come around
Like every time you [D]pull me up
Then you [G]let me down
One day we can dance on air
Then we're back down [C]in the street again
Just like every time the [D]tide rolls out
The tide [G]rolls back in
CHORUS:
Oh, every little [C]wasted word
And every little [G]wasted smile
And every little [D]wasted year
Yeah, every little [G]wasted mile
Ooh, we're gonna leave them [C]all right here
Yeah, we're gonna leave them [G]all right now
Every little [D]wasted word
We're gonna make them [G]true somehow
I guess we know that I lost you
Yeah, I guess we know you [C]lost me too
And then I guess we know we [D]both did things
We never ever really [G]thought we'd do
So baby, don't you dry those tears
Why don't you just [C]let 'em flow
Hmm, then we'll take [D]all those years
And just [G]let 'em go
INSTRUMENTAL: C G D G C G D
I loved you 'til I [G]couldn't stand
Loved you 'til I [C]couldn't see
And then I loved you 'til I [D]couldn't find
My way [G]back to me
So, I'm calling it a lovely time
Calling it a [C]lovely day
And then I'm calling it a [D]lovely place
Yeah, to just [G]walk away
CHORUS:
Oh, every little [C]wasted word
And every little [G]wasted smile
And every little [D]wasted year
Yeah, every little [G]wasted mile
Oh, we're gonna leave them a[C]ll right here
We're gonna leave them [G]all right now

We're gonna make them [G]true somehow [D] [C] [G] [D] [C][G]
