Key: Bb Minor BPM: ♩ = 65 Time: 4/4
|Bbm    |Bbm    |

|Bbm                               |Bbm/Ab  |
   When you wake up, turn the radio on
                           |Gbmaj7                                  |Ebm7  |
And you'll hear this simple song, that I made up, that I made up for you

|Bbm                                  |Bbm/Ab  |
   When you're driving, turn the radio up
                        |Gb                    Ebm7               |Fsus4   -  -  F   |
Cause I can't sing loud enough, hard these days, to get my message through

  |Db  -    Cb/Eb  Db/F   |Gbmaj7      Ab7            |
If time  is all    I       have,  I'll waste it all on
|Db                 4Cb/Eb  4nDb/F   |Gbmaj7     Ab7                    |
 you, each day I'll turn    it      back, it's what the broken-hearted
|Bbm                            Bbm/Ab     |24Gbmaj7              |44Ebm7    |
 do, I'm tired of talking to an empty space,   of silences keeping me awake

|Bbm                            |Bbm/Ab  |
   When you marry, and you look around
                         |Gbmaj7                       |Ebm7  |
I'll be somewhere in that crowd, torn up, that it isn't me

|Bbm                              |Bbm/Ab  |
   When you're older, the memories fade
                              |Gbmaj7    Ebm7              |Fsus4   -  -  F   |
But I know I'll still feel the same, yeah  for as long as I live

      |Db  -    Cb/Eb  Db/F   |Gbmaj7      Ab7            |
And if time  is all    I       have,  I'll waste it all on
|Db                 4Cb/Eb  4nDb/F   |Gbmaj7     Ab7                    |
 you, each day I'll turn    it      back, it's what the broken-hearted
|Bbm                            Bbm/Ab     |24Gbmaj7              |44Ebm7    |
 do, I'm tired of talking to an empty space,   of silences keeping me awake

         |64Db    2nGb                         |Db    2nGb  |
Won't you  say my name, one time, please just say my name

  |44Db  -    Cb/Eb  Db/F   |Gbmaj7      Ab7            |
If  time  is all    I       have,  I'll waste it all on
|Db                 4Cb/Eb  4nDb/F   |Gbmaj7     Ab7                    |
 you, each day I'll turn    it      back, it's what the broken-hearted
|Bbm                            Bbm/Ab     |24Gbmaj7              |44Ebm7    |
 do, I'm tired of talking to an empty space,   of silences keeping me awake

  |Db  -    Cb/Eb  Db/F   |Gbmaj7      Ab7            |
If time  is all    I       have,  I'll waste it all on
