      "Waste"
Artist: Foster the People
Album: Torches

I couldn't find a version with the bridge chords so I thought I would make one. 

Capo 1

(Em - G - D 2x)

Verse 1:
                Em                              G    D
I'll hold your hand when you are feeling mad at me
                 Em
Yeah when the monsters they won't go and your windows won't close
        G                     D
I'll pretend to see what you see
      Em                                G                         D
"How long?" I say, how long will you relive the things that are gone?
              Em                                                 G        D
Oh yeah, The devil's on your back but I know you can shake him off  Mmmmmm

Chorus:
           C                     G                      Bm         D/A
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
           C                     G                      Bm         D/A
And every day that you want to wake up, and you want to wake, you can
           C                     G                      Bm         D/A   
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
           Bm    C                            D 
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you

(Em - G - D 2x)

Verse 2:
                Em                           G             D
You know it's funny how freedom can make us feel contained
                Em                                           G         D
Yeah When the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walking Mmmmm
   Em                                              G                D
I know if you could snap both your fingers that you'd escape with me
              Em                                                       G            D
But in the meantime, I'll just wait here and listen to you when you speak... or scream

Chorus:
           C                     G                       Bm        D/A
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
           C                     G                       Bm        D/A
And every day that you want to wake up, and you want to wake, you can
           C                     G                       Bm        D
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
           Bm  C                           D
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you

Bridge:

(Em - Bm - A - D - G - Bm - F#m - D - A - (D passing))

Em               Bm              A
The truth cuts us and pulls us back up
D                   G                   Bm
And separates the things that look the same
          F#m                   D                  A
You can fight it off, you can fight it off, you can

Chorus: 
       Bm  C                     G                      Bm         D/A
And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
           C                     G                      Bm         D/A
And every day that you want to wake up, and you want to wake, you can
           C                     G                      Bm         D
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
               C                            D          
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you
