           Am
There's a space in between
         G
Like a grey evergreen
            C 
Where the hurt never meant
          F
Stops to linger

On the pavement below
See a crack that I know
All the corners of you
All the bones that I knew

I said I would never come back
Screaming at the walls in jet black
Hurt until my words are out flat
Can I whisper it back?

Chorus:
        Am
What a waste, what a waste,
what a waste to be so alone
   G
A waste, what a waste,
what a waste to be so alone
    C 
A waste, what a waste,
                        F
what a waste to be so alone

There's a space in between
Like a grey evergreen
Where the hurt never meant
Starts to linger

On the pavement below
See a crack that I know
All the corners of you
All the bones that I knew

I said I would never come back
Screaming at the walls in jet black
Hurt until my words are out flat
Can I whisper it back?

I said I would never come back
Screaming at the walls in jet black
Hurt until my words are out flat
Can I whisper it back?

Chorus:
What a waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
So alone, so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
A waste, what a waste
What a waste to be so alone
