[Intro]
Em
 
[Verse]
Em
Launching loony thoughts into the bending of your mind
Em
You reach for something high but it's a mountain that you find
Em
He's a king dust demon with an icepick smile
Em
His music fills your feathers as you feel your passions fly
 
[Verse]
Em
With the mustache man on the carpet of his van
Em
You can feel your fatty tissues giving way to sweaty hands
Em
And the woofers keep distorting and the tweeters kiss the girls
Em
His horn-rimmed glasses lights a square beneath his curls
 
[Chorus]
C        G      Bm        Em
  I have wasted   so much time
C        G      Bm        Em
  I have wasted   so much time
 
[Solo]
Em
 
[Verse]
Em
He is like a politician who is practicing a speech
Em
He is racing, he is pacing, he is sleeping on his beat
Em
As the sky begins to darken and the waves begin to roll
Em
You can feel the oceans rising as you're losing all control
 
[Verse]
Em
And meanwhile back at the Candlerock Lounge
Em
It is past 11:30 and your friends are getting down
Em
They're applying purple eyeshadow, drinking warm beer
Em
They're wondering where you went to when you told them you'd be here
 
[Chorus]
C        G      Bm        Em
  I have wasted   so much time
C        G      Bm        Em
  I have wasted   so much time
 
[Interlude]
C G Bm Em
C G Bm Em
 
[Chorus]
C        G      Bm        Em
  I have wasted   so much time
C        G  Bm          Em
  I have wasted so much ... so much
C    G        Bm     Em
time   I have wasted   so much
C    G         Bm         Em
time   so much    so much time
 
[Outro]
