verse 1 
                                C              G 
I could have walked around the world a couple times  
                             C               G 
I could have swam across the ocean and back again  
       Em                      D 
Made a wish on every star that Galileo drew  
                      C         G 
For all the time I’ve wasted on you 


verse 2 
                             C           G 
I could have drowned in many seas in Mexico 
                                   C           G 
Counted every piece of gravel on a long county road  
            Em                       D 
Sailed that slow boat down to China, right up to the moon  
                      C         G 
For all the time I’ve wasted on you 

 
          Em 
Time goes by 
                                         C 
And when it’s gone it’s gone and you realize  
          Em 
Time just lies  
                                      C 
And you did not move on, no, you just cried 
         D       G  C  G 
You just cried  


verse 3 
                                    C             G 
I could have filled the Mississippi River with my tears 
                               C                 G 
No telling what I could have done with all these years 
             Em                              D 
I could have dug out the Grand Canyon with a spoon  
                      C         G 
For all the time I’ve wasted on you  


          Em 
Time goes by 
                                         C 
And when it’s gone it’s gone and you realize  
          Em 
Time just lies  
                                      C 
And you did not move on, no, you just cried 
         D    
You just cried

verse 4 
                          C               G 
For everything I’ve lost, I’m not mad at love 
                          C                      G 
I’d even give it one more day, if I thought it'd be enough 
             Em                               D 
I could have served five life sentences for a crime I didn’t do 
                      C         G    C 
For all the time I’ve wasted on you 
          G                 C         G 
Yeah, for all the time I’ve wasted on you
