1. Today is the first day of the rest
          E
   Of our lives
   A                           D
   Tomorrow is too late to pretend
                    E
   everything's all right now
   A                              D
   I'm not getting any younger as long
                E
   as you don't get any older
   A                               D           E
   I'm not going to state that yesterday never was

X: Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
   Making your mascara bleed Tears down your face
   Leaving traces of my mistakes when I say

   A                     D         E
R: If I promise to go to church on Sunday
   A                      D      E
   Will you go with me on Friday night?
   A                         D       E
   If you live with me, I'll die for you
            A      D   E
   And this compromise 

2. I hereby solemnly swear to tell
   The whole truth
   And nothing but the truth is what
   I'll ever hear from you
   Trust is a dirty word that comes
   Only from such a liar
   But respect is something I will earn
   If you have faith

X: Bloodshot deadbeat...

R: If I promise... (2x)
   
   And this compromise
   And this compromise
