Roxette: Spending My Time   Capo 2nd fret in the video(See accoustic version 
below..Youtube link) capo the 4th  fret for the recorded studio version


            Em               C           D
 What's the time? Seems it's already morning

           Em           C              Dadd9
 I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue

          Em         C                 D
 The tv's on, but the only thing showing

                  A Am
 is a picture of you

          Em          C                 D
 Oh I get up and make myself some coffee

          Em          C                 Dadd9
 I try to read a book but the story's to thin

                                                 
  Em                     C                       D
 I thank the lord above that you're not here to see me

                 A Am
 in the shape I'm in


               D                      A
 Spending my time watching the days go by

            Bm                    G(barred 3rd fret)
 Feeling so small I stare at the wall

    Em             G                 A
 hoping that you think of me too

                     D
 I'm spending my time


Em                     C                        D
 I try to call but I don't know what to tell you

Em           C                         Dadd9
 I leave a kiss on your answering machine

Em                           C                   Dadd9
 Oh help me please, is there someone who can make me

                      A   Am
 wake up from this dream?


             D                           A
 Spending my time watching the days go by

            Bm                     G(barred 3rd fret)
 Feeling so small I stare at the wall

     Em                 G            A
 hoping that you are missing of me too

                     D                       A
 I'm spending my time watching the sun go down

                      Bm                    G(barred 3rd fret)
 I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown"

           Em      A
 a prayer gone blind

                       Bm
 I'm spending my time


Em              G                 D            A
 My friends keep telling me: hey life will go on,

Em                    G               D
 time will make sure I'll get over you.

Em                    G
 This silly game of love

         D          A         C  .. B
 You play, you win only to lose.


           E                             B
 Spending my time watching the days go by

            C#m(barred 4th fret)                  A
 Feeling so small I stare at the wall

             F#m       A            B
 hoping that you are missing of me too

                     E                       B
 I'm spending my time watching the sun go down

                      C#m                    A
 I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown"

           F#m      B
 a prayer gone blind
