   D#                  A# 
If you had eyes like golden crowns and
 G#                D#             G#      D#  Fm A#
diamonds in your fingertips you'd waste it
    D#             A# 
If shining wisdom passed your lips and
 G#               D#               G#     D#  Fm A#
traveled to the ears of god you'd waste it

         D#              A# 
And so I hate your overrated
      G#               D# 
most revered and celebrated because
    G#            D#  Fm D#  A# 
you waste it, yeah

Chorus:
Cm    A#         D#      A#    Cm
Then again it's good to get a call
Fm       A#    D#      A#    Cm
Now and then just to say hello
Fm      A#     D#      A#     Cm
Have I said I hate to see you go?
   Fm              A#  A# 
I hate to see you go.

But every time you close a door
And nothing opens in its place
You've wasted
And when you speak the words you know
To those who know the words themselves
You're wasted

You're such a classic waste of cool
So afraid to break the rules
In all the wrong places

Chorus:
But then again
It's good to get a call
Now and then
Just to say hello
Have I said
Oh I hate to see you go
I hate to see you go

But then again
It's good to get a call
Now and then
Just to say hello
Have I said
I hate to see you go
I hate to see you go
