More songs by Over The Rhine


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

     D             D13
     I don't wanna waste your time
       G               D
     With music you don't need
      D        /C# Bm        D/A
     Why should I autograph the book
       E9        E7   A9
     That you won't even read
          D                  D7
     I got a different scar for every song
      G                   C9
     And blood left still to bleed
      D       /C#   Bm         D/A
     But I don't wanna waste your time
       Em7   A11       D    (A11)
     With music you don't need

     I don't wanna waste good wine
     If you won't stick around
     I love to laugh but I'm more than just
     Your alcoholic clown
     I won't pray this prayer with you
     Unless we both kneel down
     'Cause I don't wanna waste good wine
     If you won't stick around

    A               D
 So come on lighten up
 A                Bm
 Let me fill your cup
 F#7                              Bm
 I'm just trying to imagine a situation
       E7              E7/G#      A11 A7
 Where we might have a real conversation

     But I don't wanna waste the words
     That you don't seem to need
     When it comes to wanting what's real
     There's no such thing as greed
     I hope this night puts down deep roots
     I hope we plant a seed
     'Cause I don't wanna waste your time
     With music you don't need
