G#                                      C#  D#
Roaming round your house, wasting your time
G#                               C# D#
No obligation just wasting your time
G#                                 C# D#
So why are you alone wasting your time?
G#                                      C# D#
When you could be with me wasting your time

Chorus:
C#               D#
I'm a waste like you,
      C#              D#
With nothing else to do
    C#       G#        D#
May I waste your time too?

Warding off regrets, wasting your time
Smoking cigarettes, wasting your time
I'm just a parasite wasting your time
Applying myself to wasting your time

Chorus

G#                                 C# D#

When you could be with me wasting your time
C#                D#
I'm a waste like you,
      C#              D#
With nothing else to do

    C#      G#         D#
May I waste your time too?
    C#      G#        D#
May I waste your time too?
    C#      G#        D#
May I waste your time too?
    C#      G#        D#
May I waste your time too?
