E
I'm wasting time
     A
thinking about a girl
C#m
And stealing her
  B
away from her world
E                B
She and I would run
    C#m
away   I think of all the
  B
things that I'd say
E
We'd talk about
   A
important things
C#m
And I picture it
B
in my dreams
E
She'd teach me
       A
about modern art
   C#m
And   I'd show her
       B
it's okay to fart and

A     E
Maybe I'd impress her
C#m      B
By being in a band and
A          E
Maybe if I act real tough
C#m          B
She'd let me hold her hand
   A            E
and Maybe I'll win her heart
C#m              B
By writing this song about her
A            E
Sometimes I sit at home and

Chorus:
C#m
Wonder if she's sitting at home
B
Thinking of me and wondering if I'm
A
Sitting at home thinking about
her Or am I just wasting my time

Remembering how she laughed at Kinko's

When I told her that I used to fry
I really want to ask her out
But my ego could never take it
And even if I got the balls
You know that the Cougar would never make it
And in my town you can't drive naked

Maybe I'd impress her by being in a band and
Maybe if I act real tough,
she'd let me hold her hand and
Maybe I'll win her heart by
writing this song about her
Sometimes I sit at home and

Chorus

E A C#m    B                  E   A C#m
        Am I just wasting my time
   B                  E   A C#m
Am I just wasting my time
   B
Am I just wasting my
E   A C#m
time  Wasting my time
B                 A E
thinking about a girl
