Wasting My Life - By The Hippos 
Written by Ariel Rechtsaid. 
Tabbed by Luke R (luke__007@hotmail.com) and Shane C. 

This song has normal tuning. And as the more perceptive of you have realised it's pretty obvious that there are two guitars at the beginning. They use some sort of Jimi Hendrix, I think it's a D minor 7 or something. Anyway here it is. 


   Dm7   F#   G   G7  B   D   Gm 
e-|--5-----2---3---3---4---7---3-------|- 
B-|--6-----2---3---6---4---7---3-------|- 
G-|--5-----3---4---4---4---7---3-------|- 
D-|--4-----4---5---0---4---7---4-------|- 
A-|--5-----4---5---5---2---5---4-------|- 
E-|--------2---3---3-----------3-------|- 

INTRO - GUITAR 1: 

Dm7 F# G (Played until Ariel starts singing and is then cut out) 

GUITAR 2: 

Dm7 G7 (After 3 times of guitar 1, guitar 2 comes in and is played till the pre-chorus) 

VERSE 1 

Something in the way she never looks my way I'm in love 
Something in the way she doesn't hear a word I say I'm in love 

PRE-CHORUS 
B              D 
But people say we're not the same 
B              D 
She's out of my league I'm insane 

CHORUS 
D            F#  G 
Am I wasting my life waiting for you, is it true 
D            F#  G 
Am I wasting my life on you 
G                          Gm 
So tell me it's not true 

VERSE 2 

Guitar 2 is played from intro. 

Something in the way she looked at me today I'm in love 
Something in the way she says for me to get away I'm in love 

PRE-CHORUS 
B              D 
But people say we're not the same 
B              D 
She's out of my league I'm insane 

CHORUS 
D            F#  G 
Am I wasting my life waiting for you, is it true 
D            F#  G 
Am I wasting my life on you 
G                          Gm 
So tell me it's not true 

In the solo the intro is just played with both guitars. 


At one stage a think the keyboard goes like this 
e-|----------------------------------------|- 
B-|----------------------------------------|- 
G-|---4---5--4--2--------------------------|- 
D-|-0---0----------------------------------|- 
A-|----------------------------------------|- 
E-|----------------------------------------|- 

A pretty easy song. Any comments, email me.
