WASTE (off of Phish's new album Billy Breathes)
music by Trey Anastasio
words by Tom Marshall
transcription by Mike Sartor
I just wanted to post my version (actually the version Mike taught me) of this
song because I think Bill Schofield posted a couple of wrong chords, so here it
goes...
The Chords:
C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7sus4 Cadd9 (C9 without the 7th)
E--------0------0--------0----------1-----------0-- B--------1------0--------1----------0-----------3-- G--------0------0--------3----------0-----------0-- D--------2------2--------2----------2-----------2-- A--------3------3--------3----------3-----------3-- E--------------------------------------------------
[F] [Fmaj7]
E--------1-------0--- B--------1-------1--- G--------2-------2--- D--------3-------3--- A--------3-------0--- E--------1-------0---
There's a little riff between a couple of the lines, and in the intro, that goes
like this,
Riff 1:
[Cmaj7sus4] [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [F]
E------1---1---0---0---0---1-- B------0---0---0---0---3---1-- G------0---0---0---0---0---2-- D------2---2---2---2---2---3-- A------3---3---3---3---3---3-- E--------------------------1--
The Song:
Intro:
[C] [Cmaj7] [C7] [Cmaj7sus4] [Cmaj7] [Cadd9] [F] [Fmaj7] [C]
(Essentially, the verses are just sung over the intro, but I wrote them out
anyway)
First verse:
C Cmaj7 C7 Riff 1
Don't want to be an actor, pretending on a stage
[(F)]Don't want to be a [Fmaj7]writer, with my [C]thoughts out on a page
C Cmaj7 C7 Riff 1
Don't want to be a painter, 'cause everyone comes to look
[(F)]Don't want to be [Fmaj7]anything, where my [C]life's an open book
[F]I dream it's [C]true
[F]And I'll see it [C]through
[C]If I could be ([Cmaj7]if I could beee[C7]eee) [Cmaj7sus4]wast - [Cmaj7]ing [Cadd9]my [F]time[Fmaj7]
with [C]you
Second Verse (same chords):
Don't want to be a farmer, working in the sun
Don't want to be an outlaw, always on the run
Don't want to be a climber, reaching for the top
Don't want to be anything where I don't know when to stop
I dream it's true
And I'll see it through
If I could be (if I could beeeee) wasting my time
with you
Chorus:
[Eb]So if [Bb]I'm in[F]side your [C]head
[Eb]Don't be[Bb]lieve what you [F]might have [C]read
[Eb]You'll [Bb]see what I [F]might have [C]said
[Eb]To he[Bb]ar it
[F]Come [Gm]waste your [Bb]time with me
(repeat several times)...
Then once through the intro...
Then repeat the chorus...
Then jam away...

Repeat second bridge:
So if I'm inside your head

To hear it
Come waste your time with me
NOTES abd TIPS:
1) ** the Cmaj11, Cmaj7, C9 part in the beginning of the
song sounds as if Trey is picking the E and B strings.
As an alternative to playing these chords you can just
play the 3 notes that are the signature of this little part:
[Cmaj11] [CAj7] [C9]
E-----1-------0-------------- And after this go into the B---------------------3------ F -> Fm -> C G---------------------------- D---------------------------- A---------------------------- E----------------------------
2) The second bridge sounds real nice when the Eb and Bb are
played on the 6th fret and the C and F are played on the 8th.
3) the F at the begining of the chorus should be played on the
1st fret, and the F at the end of the line should be played on
the 8th.
Enjoy!

I kinda stumbled on this by accident while jamming.
The chords work out on piano at least.
