Waste by Smash Mouth
I haven't figured out the voicing of the chorus chords yet. Need to tune one of my guitars to Eb so I can play along. For now, the chorus chords sound good to me.

Song: Waste
By:   Smash Mounth

[verse: 1] {guitar+keys}
Bb                  Fm
  I'm looking at my watch
Ebm7                             Ab
   At all the time that's been stolen
Bb                    Fm
  When I was carrying you
Ebm7                               Ab
  It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
 
[verse: 2]
Bb                      Fm
  Don't want no one to ache
Ebm7                     Ab
  Oh to be drunk and forgetful
Bb                        Fm
  To get out of this unscathed
Ebm7                   Ab
  Oh to be free and inhuman
 
[chorus:]
Ebm        Ab     
Some, may say
  Ebm7      Abm7
I love, to play
           Db                 Gb       F  
When the chance is there to take

[verse: 3]
Bb                     Fm   {band kicks in}
   I'm mopping up the floor
Ebm7                        Ab
   From messy recipes of romance
Bb                    Fm
  I'm packing up the pots
Ebm7                        Ab
  Too many cooks in the kitchen
 
[chorus:]
Ebm        Ab    
Some, may say
  Ebm      Abm7
I love, to let
        Db           Gb      F
A good thing go to waste,      I let it go to waste
 
[solo: guitar]  {over verse chords}
       Bb         Fm
       Ebm7       Ab
       Bb         Fm
       Ebm7       Ab
 
[bridge:]
 Bb                 Fm         Ebm7             Ab
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
 Bb                 Fm         Ebm7             Ab
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
 
[solo: guitar]   {over chorus chords}
      Ebm       Ab
      Ebm7      Abm7
                Db        Gb      F 
 
[verse: 3]
Bb                    Fm
  I'm looking at my watch
Ebm7                            Ab
  At all the time that's been stolen
Bb                    Fm
  When I was carrying you
Ebm7                               Ab   {let ring}
  It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
