Chord placement might be a little bit off, but the chords should be correct.

Verse:
A                              D      A
Morning’s come, you've watched the red sun rise
A                    D      A
The LED still flickers in your eyes
                E
Oh you ought to spare your face the razor
       D                             A    D   A
Because no one’s gonna spare their time for you
A                      D     A
No one’s gonna watch you as you go
      A                        D    A
From a house you didn’t build and can’t control
              E
Oh you ought to spare your face the razor
       D                              A    D    A
Because no one’s gonna spare their time for you
            E
You ought to spare the world your labor
        D                            A     D    A
It’s been twenty years and no one’s told the truth

Bridge:
A       D   A
So listen, oh
A       D   A
So listen, oh
      E    D
Don’t wait
A      D   A
Don’t wait

Verse -same as first-:
So keep that list of who to thank in mind
And don’t forget the rich ones who were kind
Oh you ought to spare your face the razor
Because no one’s gonna spare their time for you
Why don’t you spare their world a traitor
Take your wager back and leave before you lose

Bridge:
A       D   A
So listen, oh
A       D   A
So listen, oh
      E    D
Don’t wait
A      D   A
Don’t wait

Bridge:
D                    E
So while the sun’s coming out
       A           D
Cover ground, cover ground
D                            E
And if you find some love for these clowns
A            D
Turn around, turn around
D                            E
I’ll be half asleep on the floor of a high school gym
A                                D
Thinking of you and wondering if anyone else could begin

Bridge:
A       D   A
So listen, oh
A       D   A
So listen, oh
      E    D
Don’t wait
A      D   A
Don’t wait
