Lyrics

Wasted Away (Strickler)

Verse One: G-C-G-D (x4)
I used to live in the country
where everything was all right
Now I live in the city
and I?ve been up all night
There?s broken bottles on the living room floor
and a picture of my eighth grade homeroom teacher
with darts through her head nailed to my door
Chorus:
I?m wasted away I?m wasted away I?m wasted away
That?s the way it should be
E D C (x3) last one E D C A D
That?s the way it should be

Verse Two: same musically as verse one

I got friends they stay up all night
they don?t seem to care to live their lives right
now I don?t care what another man do
but I?d hate to see that happen to you,
you?re losing your way, you?re wasted away
Chorus :
Jam: Same as verse

Verse Three: Same musically as verse one
I used to live in the city
where everything was whack!!! (Break)
Now I live in the city
and I ain?t never comin? back
It?s hard to believe
I ever left here at all
but it?s much to late to change what?s been done
I?m paying the penalty, I?m wasted away

Chorus: Repeat twice without going to E D C change
Chorus: Once A Capella to end
