                Em
Well I've been lying awake all night
                  C  D Bm
just thinking of you
       Em
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy
                C   D Bm
obstructing my view
           Em
I've got a bottle of pills
                     C D Bm
to give me my thrills
       Em                           C   D Bm
And I know I'm leading a life that kills

Chorus:
  Em             D         Bm
(Wasted) - I've wasted my time
(Wasted) - I'm shooting a line
(Wasted) - I'm stuck in a hole
(Wasted) - I'm losing control

I've been meaning to call
I've been wanting to phone
You see I don't like the thought
of leaving you here alone
Well I've seen things down here
that are fit for a queen
I've seen things down here
that should never be seen

Chorus:
Wasted - I've wasted my money
Wasted - I've wasted you honey
Wasted - I'm out of my brain
Wasted - I'm going insane

     B               C Em D C
I'm running in thin air
                           D Em G A G D
There's nothingness everywhere
I've gotta get out
  D     G   Am   G   Em
(Won't you help me?)  - I've gotta get out
  E     G   Am   G   D
(Won't you help me?)  - I've gotta get out
    D     G   Am   G      C B
Oh won't you help me get out?

Thought I saw you just the other day
But it couldn't be you 'cause you had nothing to say
He's going away, they told all my friends
Well now I'll be stuck in here 'til the misery ends

Chorus:
Wasted - I've wasted my time
Wasted - I'm shooting a line
Wasted - I'm out of my head
Wasted - I wish I was dead
