Notes:
1. All Chords played as Bar Chords with the exception of 'E' played at the root position.
2. Bar Chords Bm and Cm, only play the 6th and 5th Strings and damp slightly.
2. Listen to the record to hear how to play the Dm chord with the characteristic slur.


Intro:
Dm      Am     Bm     Cm


Verse 1:
                  Dm
Before I waste my time
                     Am   Bm   Cm  Bm
Do I need to think again?
                 Dm
Before I make my mind up
                                 E
D'yer think we'll make it to the end?



Chorus:
                          F
'Cos, I know what you are like

And I've seen it all before
                       Am  
Now I've got you on my mind
      Bm             Cm
And I know I can't ignore
        Bm                  F
All the things that you can give
                        
And the way you make me live
                        Am                      
I'm not saying it's not fine 
      Bm              Cm               Bm        Dm
But before I waste my time...Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Y e a h!

Fill:
Dm   Am   Bm    Cm    


Verse 2:
                  Dm
Before I waste my time
                      Am  Bm 
Should I need to look around?
Cm       Bm       Dm
Before I shake my life up
                         E
Is this really love I've found?


Chorus:
                          F
'Cos, I know what you are like

And I've seen it all before
                       Am  
Now I've got you on my mind
      Bm             Cm
And I know I can't ignore
        Bm                  F
All the things that you can give
                        
And the way you make me live
                        Am                      
I'm not saying it's not fine 
      Bm              Cm               Bm        Dm
But before I waste my time...Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Y e a h!

All the things that you can give
                        
And the way you make me live

I'm not saying it's not fine 
      Bm              Cm               Bm        Dm
But before I waste my time...Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Y e a h!
