INTRO ([starts out with silence] 0:09-0:14)

Hey, still srting little girl are you looking at or past me?
Worry, simple symptoms wont leave you in this underweight or red in the eyes.

No more rules.
The ones we make dont last a night.

CHORUS part 1 (0:54-1:04)

So pick up the pieces.
Start again, start over Tuesday morning.
Conscience clean.

CHORUS part 3 (1:14-1:16)

VERSE (1:16-1:36)
This card, postmark December twenty three.
Caption reads, "How does he fo it?"
Mrs. too bad he treats me like im dead.
If nothing works, just make it easy.

PRE CHORUS ([theres a little drum solo first] 1:41-1:51)
No more lies.
The ones we live will work just fine.
