D5                      C5
I use my outside voice because I have no choice
                                  A
The barn that I was raised in was constructed out of noise
            D5                     C5
And now I'm all torn up because my buttercup
                                  A
Up and gone and left me, said she finally had enough
D5              C5
Left me here to ruminate on all she can't admit
    A
And all she can't explain


[Chorus]
G        F#m           Bm               G
All time what, I never thought, I never thought
G        F#m                 Bm                  G
All time what, things break apart, things break apart
G      A
Ah-ah, ah-ah
D      Em     A
Ah-ah, ah-ah


[Verse]
         D5                          C5
Man, she pulled out the rug from her doodlebug
                                A
Rolling down the highway, not a worry in her mind
         D5                                 C5
Here's a flash card where someone's written stultify
                          A
I take it as a sign. It's hard to redefine.
D5             C5                        Bm
Same old sad soliloquy, they handed me a broom
    A
The cast has left the room



[Chorus]
G        F#m            Bm                 G
All time what, stumble about wrapped in a shroud
G        F#m             Bm               F
All time what, partly submerged playing a dirge


[Bridge]
A
Complete completely completelier
A
Defeat defeated defeatlier
A
Complete completely completelier
A
Defeat defeated defeatlier


[Chorus]
G        F#m           Bm               G
All time what, I never thought, I never thought
G        F#m                 Bm                  G
All time what, things break apart, things break apart
G      A
Ah-ah, ah-ah
D      Em
Ah-ah, ah-ah
G      A
Ah-ah, ah-ah,
D
Ah!
