Tab2
This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

[Intro] (x2)
[Verse] (x5)
I'm just a waste of her energy
Don't ya know, shes just wasting my time
Mm, so why dont we get together
And we could waste everything tonight
And we could waste,
And we could waste it all tonight
[Intro] (x2)
Yeah yeah, don't ya know now, we could waste yeah...
[Verse] (x5)
And I dont pretend to know what you know
Mm, now please dont pretend to know what's on my mind
But if we already knew everything that everybody knows
We would have nothing to learn tonight
And we would have,
Nothing to show tonight
[Chorus] (x2)
Oh, but everybody thinks that everybody knows
About everybody else but nobody knows
Anything about themselves,
'Cause theyre all worried about everybody else
[Intro] (x2)
Yeah yeah, don't ya know now, you should know by now...
Solo
[Verse] (x5)
Cause love's just a waste of our energy
Don't ya know, that this life's just a waste of our time
Mm, so why dont we get together
And we could waste everything tonight
And we could waste,
And we could waste it all, yeah
[Chorus] (x2)
But everybody thinks that everybody knows
About everybody else but nobody knows
Anything about themselves
'Cause they're all worried about everybody else, yeah
