WASTE (off of Phish's new album Billy Breathes)
music by Trey Anastasio
words by Tom Marshall
transcription by Mike Sartor
I just wanted to post my version (actually the version Mike taught me) of this
song because I think Bill Schofield posted a couple of wrong chords, so here it
goes...
The Chords:
C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7sus4 Cadd9 (C9 without the 7th)
E--------0------0--------0----------1-----------0--
B--------1------0--------1----------0-----------3--
G--------0------0--------3----------0-----------0--
D--------2------2--------2----------2-----------2--
A--------3------3--------3----------3-----------3--
E--------------------------------------------------
F Fmaj7
E--------1-------0---
B--------1-------1---
G--------2-------2---
D--------3-------3---
A--------3-------0---
E--------1-------0---
There's a little riff between a couple of the lines, and in the intro, that goes
like this,
Riff 1:
Cmaj7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9 F
E------1---1---0---0---0---1--
B------0---0---0---0---3---1--
G------0---0---0---0---0---2--
D------2---2---2---2---2---3--
A------3---3---3---3---3---3--
E--------------------------1--
The Song:
Intro:
C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9 F Fmaj7 C
(Essentially, the verses are just sung over the intro, but I wrote them out
anyway)
First verse:
C Cmaj7 C7 Riff 1
Don't want to be an actor, pretending on a stage
(F) Fmaj7 C
Don't want to be a writer, with my thoughts out on a page
C Cmaj7 C7 Riff 1
Don't want to be a painter, 'cause everyone comes to look
(F) Fmaj7 C
Don't want to be anything, where my life's an open book
F C
I dream it's true
F C
And I'll see it through
C Cmaj7 C7 Cmaj7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9 F Fmaj7
If I could be (if I could beeeeee) wast - ing my time
C
with you
Second Verse (same chords):
Don't want to be a farmer, working in the sun
Don't want to be an outlaw, always on the run
Don't want to be a climber, reaching for the top
Don't want to be anything where I don't know when to stop
I dream it's true
And I'll see it through
If I could be (if I could beeeee) wasting my time
with you
Chorus:
Eb Bb F C
So if I'm inside your head
Eb Bb F C
Don't believe what you might have read
Eb Bb F C
You'll see what I might have said
Eb Bb
To hear it
F Gm Bb
Come waste your time with me
(repeat several times)...
Then once through the intro...
Then repeat the chorus...
Then jam away...

NOTES abd TIPS:
1) ** the Cmaj11, Cmaj7, C9 part in the beginning of the
song sounds as if Trey is picking the E and B strings.
As an alternative to playing these chords you can just
play the 3 notes that are the signature of this little part:
Cmaj11 CAj7 C9
E-----1-------0-------------- And after this go into the
B---------------------3------ F -> Fm -> C
G----------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------
2) The second bridge sounds real nice when the Eb and Bb are
played on the 6th fret and the C and F are played on the 8th.
3) the F at the begining of the chorus should be played on the
1st fret, and the F at the end of the line should be played on
the 8th.
Enjoy!

I kinda stumbled on this by accident while jamming.
The chords work out on piano at least.
