A                              D           E
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives
A                           D
Tomorrow is too late to pretend
                   E
everything is all right
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

              F#                 A
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
        E
Making your mascara bleed
                 F#
tears down your face
          A           E
leaving traces of my mistakes
when I say

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

I hereby solemnly swear to tell
the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what
I'll ever hear from you now,
"trust" is a dirty word that comes
from such a liar
but "respect" is something I will learn
If you have faith

Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
tears down your face
leaving traces of my mistakes
when I say

Chorus - x4

          A       E
and this compromise
        F       A
just a compromise....
