StCraighten up my shoulders for my mother and mirrors
The overcompensation of a posture I'm dying to knoGw
FeCeling like a kid selling ten dollar chocolates
Reciting all my rehearsed lines to your closing dooGr
ThCought a change of scenery would make me feel better
Moved four hundred miles away, I'm still staring at the floGor
AnCd feeling useless as a mime in a counseling session
Here's a million mute expressions, here's the one where I choke on my worGds
Then iAn comes the church with the answers
Ah Ah bless me with those tiDred acronyms
They look good on the overhead GslideC  
They're saving lGivesC  
Works every tGimeC  
[FILL]
CoCughing courtesy up in a month of indifference
And lapping up the lie with an apologetic tongGue
I'Cm polishing my eyelids with a hand on your shoulder
Scripted adornment always kills conceGrn
SiCck of coming home with the TV mumbling
There used to be a time when you spoke to me with woGrds
I'Cm swearing up and down saying it's a commitment
And toasting new beginnings saying sorry I thought it would woGrk
All my Aspeech is riddled with annulment
I'm sorry, I'm just dDoing what I think I should
I'm gathering my things and I'm Aleaving for good in November
I don't know wDhen I'll talk to you
I guess when both our eyes have finally dGiedC  
I still want to tGryC  
Still wanna tGry C  
Still wanna tGry C  
End on C.
Hope it helps, the D and A parts can be done with chords or power chords, up to you. DATH owns.

Straighten up my shoulders for my mother and mirrors

The overcompensation of a posture I'm dying to know

Feeling like a kid selling ten dollar chocolates

Reciting all my rehearsed lines to your closing door

Thought a change of scenery would make me feel better

Moved four hundred miles away, I'm still staring at the floor

And feeling useless as a mime in a counseling session

Here's a million mute expressions, here's the one where I choke on my words

Then in comes the church with the answers

Ah Ah bless me with those tired acronyms

G C

They look good on the overhead slide

G C

They're saving lives

Works every time

[FILL]

Coughing courtesy up in a month of indifference

And lapping up the lie with an apologetic tongue

I'm polishing my eyelids with a hand on your shoulder

Scripted adornment always kills concern

Sick of coming home with the TV mumbling

There used to be a time when you spoke to me with words

I'm swearing up and down saying it's a commitment

And toasting new beginnings saying sorry I thought it would work

All my speech is riddled with annulment

I'm sorry, I'm just doing what I think I should

I'm gathering my things and I'm leaving for good in November

I don't know when I'll talk to you

G C

I guess when both our eyes have finally died

G C

I still want to try

G C

Still wanna try

G C

Still wanna try

End on C.
