The Allman Brothers Band – Wasted Words (Guitar)

A
Can you tell me, tell me, friend, just exactly where I've been

A
Is that so much to ask, I'll pay you back no matter what the task

D                                           A
You seem really sure 'bout something I don't know

D                                              A
Take that load off, looks like chest's about to go

E                                    D              B    E      A
Your wasted words already been heard, are you really God, yes or no

A
Well, all day and half the night you're walkin' round lookin' such a fright

A
Good is it me or is it you, I'd make a wager and I'd hope you lose

D                                       A
Time's gone, looks like Rome is 'bout to fall

D                                        A
Next time take the elevator, please don't crawl

E                           D                  B  E      A
Your wasted words so absurd, are you really Satan, yes or no

A
Well, I ain't no saint and you sure as hell ain't no savior

A
Every other Christmas I would practice good behavior

A
That was then, this is now, don't ask me to be mister clean

A
Baby, I don't know how

D                                          A
Ring my phone 'bout ten more times, we will see

D                                   A
Find that broke down line and let it be

E                                     D                   B       E   A
Your wasted words will never be heard, go on home baby and watch it on TV

D      B        E     A
Weekday soap-box specialty, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout now

D                            B  E         A      D  B  E  A
By the way, this song's for you, sincerely, me
