WASTED YEARS       -     Iron Maiden

Em     D

         Em                        D
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
    Em             D
I’m travellin’ on, far and wide
    C                        Em
But now it seems, I’m just a stranger to myself
            D                         C
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn’t me but someone else

  Em                 D
I close my eyes, and think of home
        Em                  D
Another city goes by in the night
         C                          Em
Ain’t it funny how it is, you never miss it ’til it’s gone away
       D                                C
And my heart is lying there and will be ’til my dying day


    G   C Am     D     C Am
    So      understand
          Em                     D                   C
    Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
    G        C Am          D     C Am
    Face up      make your stand
        Em             D             C
    And realize you’re living in the golden years


Em                               D
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
      Em                 D
Can’t ease this pain, so easily
         C                                        Em
When you can’t find the words to say it’s hard to make it through another day
       D                               C
And it makes me wanna cry and throw my hands up to the sky



    G   C Am     D     C Am
    So      understand
          Em                     D                   C
    Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
    G        C Am          D     C Am
    Face up      make your stand
        Em             D             C
    And realize you’re living in the golden years


[Solo]


    G   C Am     D     C Am
    So      understand
          Em                     D                   C
    Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
    G        C Am          D     C Am
    Face up      make your stand
        Em             D             C
    And realize you’re living in the golden years
