Wasted Years by Maroon 5
Transcribed by Bumpy
I was frustrated when I found no chords for Wasted Years. I heard it on Maroon 5's Live
the 13th album and wanted to play it myself. You can't really be sure for the notes
the song has an awkward overall key, but I tried to make it accurate and interesting to
and hear, especially acoustically.
That being said: this is my first contribution. ever.
Verse:
Slow is the memory
I can picture her standing right in front of me
Orange blossoms crushed on concrete
I walk around with bare feet
And I know you want me
Can't remember everything
Her skin it tastes like sugar cane
And I had already gotten there before I came
My tank is empty
And I know you're thirsty
Chorus:
I have already tried to explain myself
It's not that I love someone else
But I can't bear to listen to you cry
I'm sick of all these wasted years
A rag for someone else's tears
I wring you out as I hang you out to dry
Breakdown:
C'mon C'mon
Get off the phone
Please come home
It's been so lonely since you've been gone
you won't surround me
up and down me
Be all around me
Baby I can't breathe no more
