Otis Redding – A Waste Of Time (Guitar)

A       F#    E
How dare

E
should I have asked you,

A                F#     E
"What's your name?"

E                D
Should you ask me the same? But dig,

E
let's don't be wasting

A     F#    E
our time

E                            D
Let's don't leave each other blind

E
If you don't want me, my heart can't stand it

A         F#
another time

E
There's only 24 hours

A      F#
in a day

E                                 D
But that don't leave much time to play, I don't dig that no way, honey

E
'Cause my heart can't take it, no,

A
another day

A             C
Listen to me, honey

          A                      C
I've been told by many different girls

         A                C
"Otis, I love you" Oh boy, they tell me this

                A              C
From the bottom of their soul, but they didn't mean it, listen

C            D
I, I've been let down, hit the ground

E                                 E
And called the biggest, the biggest fool

E                                E
The biggest fool to ever walk on this ground, listen

        A            F#
I can't stand it, no no no no

E
To be built up, way on up, and

A      F#
let down

E                            D
Being in love, y'all, is all in my mind

                  E
I don't like that, I like for it to be from my heart and I found out later

      A             C
I was wasting my time

       A                   C
Just a waste of time, yeah

    A                                          C
Somebody understand what I'm saying when I say

            A             C
It's just a waste of time

                      A                                 C
If you don't want me, mama, don't just leave me hangin'

                       A
Don't just let me waste my time, no, no

C                                 A
Somebody, somebody got to get the message to me
