[Verse 1]
[C]So she wak[Em]es up
[Am]In time to brake[F] down
[C]She left a not[Em]e up on the dre[Am]sser
And [F]she's right on [C]time
You [Em]don't know [F]anything,[G]
right or [C]wrong[Em][F][G]
[C]I said I kno[Em]w-ow-ow-ow,
[Am]and she said so-o-[F]o-o
[C]I want to pan[Em]ic but I've had[Am] it so I go-[F]o-o-o
[C]You don[Em]'t owe any[F]thing[G]
to any[C]one[Em][F][G]

[Pre-chorus 1]
[F]But don't take your lif[C]e
[F]Cause it's all that you[C]'ve got
[Am]You'd be better off just up an[E]d leaving
If you [F]don't think they will [Fm]stop

[Chorus 1]

[Am]Everything is gonna be [F]fine[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Flipping through the pap[Em]er today[Am]
Looking for a [F]specific [C]page
Don't want to [Em]find her [Am]full name
[F]followed by [C]dates
Cause when I [Em]left a[F]lone
she made a [G]sound like a [C]moan
You're [Em]known by [F]everyone
for [G]everything you've [C]done
Fuck buying [Em]flowers for [Am]grave,
I'd rather [F]buy you a [C]one [Em]way
[Am]non-stop [F]to anywhe[C]re
Find any[Em]one, do any[F]thing,
forget and [G]start a[C]gain, love
[Em]She said she won't[F] go[G]

[Chorus 2]
It hurts too [C]much, to stand by
[G]You've got to stop and draw a lin[Am]e
[F]Everyone here [G]has to choose a [C]side tonight
The [G]moment of truth is haunting you
[Am]Don't forget your family
re[F]gardless of what you [G]choose to [C]do
You can't decide, and [G]they're all screaming
"why won't [Am]you?"
I'll start the engine,
but [F]I can't take this r[G]ide for y[C]ou
I'll draw your bath and I'll [G]load your gun
But I [Am]hope so bad that you'll [F]bathe and [G]hunt
