Cm            D7     Dm7            C
How I always memorize every single misery
Cm             D7    Dm7            C
And I seem to glorify everything inside of me

Cm            D7
And the hero never dies
Dm7           C                 D9
If the lover hides between the sheets
                   Dm9               C
There's no escape 'cause you can't sleep
                 D9                   Dm9
And then you'll see you're just like me

Chorus:
C                      D7
That's what you called waste of time
Dm7              C
I'll be waiting down the line
C                      D7
That's what you called waste of time
Dm7               C
Waiting for your valentine
C                      D7
That's what you called waste of time
Dm7                C        D9
I know where your hero hides
Dm9                    C          D9
That's why you don't sleep tonight
Dm9
That's what I call, that's what you call
                    C  D9 G+
That's what I call life

With a hero in the past, you hang on to history
Such a loss will always last and there's no recovery

And the hero never dies
If the lover hides between the sheets
There's no escape 'cause you can't sleep
And then you'll see you're just like me

Chorus:
That's what you called waste of time
I'll be waiting down the line
That's what you called waste of time
Waiting for your valentine
That's what you called waste of time
I know where your hero hides
That's why you don't sleep tonight
That's what I call, that's what you call
That's what I call, that's what you call
That's what I call, that's what you call
That's what I
(That's what I call life)

That's what you called waste of time
That's what you called waste of time
That's what you called waste of time
That's why you don't sleep tonight
You're waiting for your valentine
