Don't Waste Your Anger chords by The Smith Street Band

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
B                       E
Everything went straight out the window
F#                      E
Like when we’re smoking in the rental car
B                       E
Little embers and fires pinwheel into the night
F#                      E
Still a hundred kilometres from where you are
B                       E
Fell asleep with the blinds open
F#                      E
So I could wake up with the sun
B                       E
Would instil a sense of hope and
F#                      E
I’d go out and be someone

Chorus:
E                       F#
I’m my best when I’m forgiving
G#m                     F#
Life is hard to keep on living
E                       F#
I’m my best when I’m forgiving
G#m                     F#
Life is hard to keep on
B
To keep on

Verse 2:
B                       E
Everyone walked straight out the back door like
F#                      E
The police showed up in the front yard
B                       E
Little flickers and fights dissolve into the night
F#                      E
I’m still not myself for what you said in the car
B                       E
I’m not sure what I am saying
F#                      E
Doubled over like I’m throwin' up or praying
B                       E
With my knees on the floor of the downstairs shower
F#                      E
I taste salty tears, artificial flowers


Chorus 1:
E                       F#
I’m my best when I’m forgiving
G#m                     F#
Life is hard to keep on living
E                       F#
I’m my best when I’m forgiving
G#m                     F#
Life is hard to keep on
(Keep on)

B       E       F#      E

Don't waste your anger
F#              E
Don't waste your anger
B               E
Don't waste, don’t waste your anger on me
B               E
Don't waste your anger on me
F#              E
Don't waste your anger
B               E
Don't waste, don’t waste your anger on me
F#              E
Don't waste your anger on me
B               E
Don't waste your anger

Don't waste, don’t waste your anger on me

Don't waste your anger

Don't waste, don’t waste your anger on me

On me

B               F#
The ghost of our hand print
B               F#      C#
Here on the painted mirror
B               F#
I lick your fingers
B               F#      C#
I lick your fingers and I feel clearer
B               F#
I have disasters
B               F#      C#
I have disasters comin' for me
B               F#
This room has angles
B               F#      C#
This room has angles only you'd see
