Em Well, usually I don't make much of this A Emsign's a sign it doesn't change it a bit D I choose to stay calm in my sleep BmSeein' the prize on April nineteenth
[Verse 8]
Em That was then, I was down to a week EmLongest seven days of my life so to speak D I sip up my tea so sweet And my Bmhead thirsts the girl I've been dying to see, so
