I wish I had not woke up today
Everyone mistakes the things you say
Take the simple truth and
Twist it all around
Make it sound important
Make it seem profound
[Chorus]
(this bassline is played twice, but there is a slight variation between the first and second repitition)

Everyone I know has gone away
Died or left or just forgot to stay
Sometimes took for granted
Sometimes turned away
Sometimes didn't say what
I meant to say
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
(note: in the song you'll hear the last note of each bar slowly slide down to an open E before the next bar
is played, so keep that in mind when playing this section. It starts around 2:38 if you want to hear it)

I never would have pegged you
For what you have become
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Not like you've done
