Verse w/intro  
Today is the first day of the rest  
Of our lives  
Tomorrow is too late to pretend  
Everything's alright  
I'm not getting any younger as long  
As you don't get any older  
I'm not going to state that yesterday never was  
  
Bridge  
              F#m                A  
Bloodshot deadbeat and a lack of sleep  
       E  
Making your mascara bleed  
                F#m  
Tears down your face  
        A            E  
Leaving traces of my mistakes  
  
Chorus  
A                     D         E  
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           E  
And this compromise

Verse w/intro  
I hereby solemnly 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
