Wastin Away

Music and Lyrics By: Darrell Gilliard of 18 Hertz Wastin Away Original Music & Lyrics Note: This song uses the same chord structure only several different strumming patterns and some chord reversals so listen to the song on Garageband.com under band name 18 Hertz to get the feel for it. This song has a Nirvana kind of feel to it. Intro: My head is swollen My arms are numb I'm an off shade of white I really need some sun Verse 1 How did I ever get in here How did I get into this hotel It's not skillful planning That could have brought me into hell Chorus: How the hell did I ever get into this hotel It's still not clear to me I had no reservations and I didn't get in for free Verse 3 How the hell do I get out of here There's a stupid revolving door It keeps on spinning me around and around till I can't take it no more Chorus: How the hell did I ever get so lost Why does loneliness have such costs I sit around just wastin away Hoping for a better day Bridge: The head clerk just told me to lighten up and have some fun Easy for her to say since she's just 21 Verse 5 They won't let me out of here until I clean my room But Isn't that what maids are for At least that's what I always though But I've been misinformed before Vs 6 How the hell did I get into this hotel It's still not clear to me I had no reservations that could have brought me here and nothings for free Verse 7 You know when you think about it we're all probably dead and this is just purgatory God's is looking down on us laughin before he brings us into glory Verse 8 I'm in room 18 with all my new found friends And we're really enjoying life At least that's what we pretend And it's what i tell my wife Outro: I can't sleep in satin sheets Without you by my side And all the touring in the world Won't keep me satisfied
