Intro: (Intro Riff w/ Fill 1. the 2nd time)

Verse 1: (Verse Riff)

When I was young I knew everything

And she a punk who rarely ever took advice

Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor

Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no

Pre-Chorus: (Pre-Chorus Riff)

I can't be held responsible, 'cause she was touching her face

I won't be held responsible, she fell in love in the first place

Chorus: (Chorus Riff)

For the life of me I can not remember

What made us think that we were wise, and we'd never compromise

For the life of me I can not believe

We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen (Fill 1.)

Verse 2: (Verse Riff)

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her

His girl took a week's worth of Valium and slept

And now he's guilt-stricken sobbing with his head on the floor

Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says

Pre-Chorus (Pre-Chorus Riff w/ Fill 2. 4X)

Chorus (Chorus Riff w/ Fill 2. 4X at the end)

Verse 3: (Chorus Riff)

We've tried to wash our hands of all of this

We never talk of our lacking relationships

And how we're guilt-stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor

We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say

Pre-chorus (Pre-Chorus Riff w/ Fill 2. 4X)

Chorus 2X (Chorus Riff 2X)

Outro (Intro Riff 2X w/ Fill 1., then Outro Riff)
