   Great song by a great band! This is the first non-happy song I've   
      
   heard from them. Like with all their songs, you have to tune down   
      
   one note to play along to the CD.   
      
      
      
   VERSE 1:   
      
   --------   
      
   B F#m   
      
   I'm lookin' at my watch   
      
   Em7 A7   
      
   At all the time that's been stolen   
      
   B F#m   
      
   When I was carrying you   
      
   Em7 A7   
      
   It seems I've tripped and I've fallen   
      
      
      
   VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]   
      
   --------   
      
   Don't want no one to ache   
      
   Oh to be drunk and forgetful   
      
   To get out of this unscathed   
      
   Oh to be free and inhuman   
      
      
      
   CHORUS: [see tab below]   
      
   -------   
      
   E* A7   
      
   Some, may say   
      
   E* Am7   
      
   I love, to play   
      
   D* G* F#*   
      
   When the chance is there to take

   [the second and third time you play the chorus tab in the song it   
      
   might have some tiny variations, but I don't wanna bother to tab   
      
   them out, it's basically the same.]   
      
      
      
   VERSE 3: [play like verse 1]   
      
   --------   
      
   I'm moppin' up the floor   
      
   From messy recipes of romance   
      
   I'm packin' up the pots   
      
   Too many cooks in the kitchen   
      
      
      
   CHORUS: [play like previous chorus]   
      
   -------   
      
   Some, may say   
      
   I love, to let   
      
   a good thing go to waste   
      
   I let it go to waste

   Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste

   B F#m   
      
   I'm lookin' at my watch   
      
   Em7 A7   
      
   At all the time that's been stolen   
      
   B F#m   
      
   When I was carrying you   
      
   Em7 A7   
      
   It seems I've tripped and I've fallen   
      
      
   --   
   It has always been the policy of the   
   advocates of error, when unable to   
   sustain themselves by sophistry, specious   
   reasoning and false logic, to stigmatize   
   the advocates of truth.
