Wasted time.
I know I can’t

change/
 your mind.

I watch your tears
fall to the floor.
     G
You tell me not to
come here any more.
D/A
Tired eyes
I watch you from
D/A
afar this time.
     G
The sun's been up
for quite some time.
G
You're still here.
You leave me
toungue tied.


[Hook]
D/A
We got way too
far to go
       G
Right back where
we began.
    D/A
So darling trust
me now to take you
G
Where you've
never been.
D/A
Now we’re back
where we began.
   G
I don't know how
this ends

I'll be right here
    G
to wait for you

if we ever meet
again.

Now I ain’t been

The last thing
that
you told me

was you wish I
 would
 have tried.

With you left part
of me

that not a soul
could see

To be right here to
 wait for you now,

if you wait for
 me.

How to play Tired: key, chords and progression

Tired by Drivers Club keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 4 chords: D/A, G, F#m and Gmaj7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D/A – G – F#m – G (I – IV – iii – IV in D major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – mi – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F#m is played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into it slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
