[Verse]
 
A                E
How many summers still remain
A                 E
How many days are lost in vain
A                        B              E
Who's counting out these last remaining years
B        A          E
How many minutes do we have here?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       A    E
Wasted days
       A    E
Wasted days
B            A          E
We watch our lives just fade away to
B   A       E
More wasted days

[Verse 2]
 
A                        E
How much sorrow is there left to climb
A                     E
How many promises are worth the time
A                   B         E
And who on earth is worth our time
           B               A          E
Is there a heart here that I can call mine?
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
       A    E
Wasted days
       A    E
Wasted days
B            A          E
We watch our lives just fade away to
B   A       E
More wasted days

[Verse 3]
 
A                       E
How can a man watch his life go down the drain
A                       E
How many moments has he lost today
A                      B        E
And who among us could ever see clear
    B      A            E
The end is coming, it's almost here
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
       A    E
Wasted days
       A    E
Wasted days
B            A          E
We watch our lives just fade away to
B   A       E
More wasted days
 
 
[Chorus 4]
 
       A    E
Wasted days
       A    E
Wasted days
B            A          E
We watch our lives just fade away to
B   A       E
More wasted days
 
 
[Chorus 5]
 
       A    E
Wasted days
            A    E
More wasted days
B            A          E
We watch our lives just slip away to
B   A       E
More wasted days
