Cm         A#  G#                    D#  A#/D
Drive around, nighttime nowhere to go
Cm          A#  G#                   D#  A#/D
melts me down, I'm like wax to your jokes
G#            A#  Cm                    D#
Lost and found, knocking heads, laying low
 Cm                G#                A#      D#
there's no point reliving crimes to lose this

                  G#
still wanna waste all of my time
                  Cm     A#
I wanna waste all of my time
                      G#
still wanna waste all of my time
                  Cm     A#
I wanna waste all of my time with you

G#              Fm          Cm
Oh my lover my lover my love
             D#     Cm
we can never go back
            D#      A#
we can only do our best
To recreate

G#                   Fm           Cm
Don't turn over turn over the page
                    D#
we should rip it straight out
Cm               D#
and lets try our very best
    A#
to fake it

Show me joy, flower through disarray
Let's destroy, each mistake that we made
Then restore the color back to the grey
There's no pride in sharing scars to prove it

Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
With you

Chorus

Cm                   Gm7
Help me turn a blind eye
D#                  Gm7
days and nights we lost to weakness
Cm                   Gm7
Help me turn a blind eye
D#                  Fm
days and nights we lost to weakness

Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
So don't turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let's do our very best to fake it
Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
Don't turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let's do our very best to fake it
