Song information

Artist: Graham Parker
Album: Another Grey Area

Lyrics

Intro: the notes are e c# b c# c# b (3 times) over an a
Bass first and then a d bass, so the chords would probably be
Xx0220
A dmaj9 a dmaj9 a e (notes over e go b c# d e)

A d
I was playing with words no-one could understand a thing
E
They'd never get the drift of it
A d
Waste my time on the absurd static that just seems to cling
E
I just got rid of it, now

Chorus
G d dm c
I can't waste a minute can't send a minute
G d d c e
Can't waste a minute of your timeless love

Verse (as above)
I'm all fingers and thumbs fumbling the things to do
To make life better for you
Don't get a thing when it comes but everything's a lot less blue
Since I met you

Chorus then e

Bridge
F#m e
If I had a million years I wouldn't spend it in tears
F#m e
But I haven't got that much time and what I've got isn't mine
D a d a d a d e
Anymore anymore anymore anymore anymore anymore

I woke up in the night and realised I hadn't slept
I'd just been dreaming
Someone pushed for a fight but somehow I'd already left
I woke up screaming

Chorus
G d dm c
I can't waste a minute can't send a minute
G d
Can't waste a minute of your time
G d
Can't waste a minute of your time
G d c
Can't waste a minute of your timeless love
D c d
Your timeless love your timeless love your timeless love
C
Your timeless love (continue with these chords)

Your love your timeless love oohh yeah
