Don't wanna be an actor pretendin' on the stage
F                Fm             C
Don't wanna be a writer with my thoughts out on a page
C*                Cmaj7     C7                           Cm/F  C7  C/D  F
Don't wanna be a painter because everyone comes to look

Don't wanna be anything where my life is an open book
 
[Bridge 1]
F     Fm      C

If I could beeeeee        wastin'        my time  with you
 
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna be a farmer, workin' in the sun
Don't wanna be an outlaw, always on the run
Don't wanna be a climber, reachin' for the top
Don't wanna be anything where I don't know when to stop
 
I dream it's true
But I'd see it through
If I could be wastin' my time with you

Good job. Better than the rest.

instead of the two verse/chorus barre chords (Cm/F to C7), i think it's much easier to play and even sounds better to play C7/F to C7 open chords. C7/F and C7 -1- -0- -1- -1- -3- -3- -2- -2- -3- -3- -x- -x- other than that, very good.
