[Intro]    

[Verse 1]
                                         
   Get dressed in your bed, while she's asleep
                           
   It isn't right, but it isn't hard
                            
   Tell me, tell me won't you understand
                              
   Show me, show me, show me a better plan
                                
   It's summer lies, it's someone else's nothing
                  
   Here it comes with

[Pre-Chorus]
                                   
You ask me to stay,
                                 
You ask me to stay, 
                                 
You ask me to stay,
                                 
But there's a million reasons to leave

*STOP*

[Chorus]
                                        
Find a job, find a friend, find a home, find a dog
                  
Settle down, out of town
                            
Find a dream, shut it down!

[Chords during solo]     x2

[Verse 2]
                                             
  Please, please don't point it that way
                                                            
It's just a trigger that goes once and you'll be unafraid
                                                                                    
  I wish that I'd been noticed, but it never goes that way
                                                     
  The silence that you brought has gone, gone, gone
                                                            
  Tell me, tell me won't you understand?
                                                    
  Show me, show me, show me

[Pre-Chorus]
                                   
You ask me to stay,
                                 
You ask me to stay, 
                                 
You ask me to stay,
                                 
But there's a million reasons to leave

   

                                      
  Show me what to say,
                    
  show me what to be
                                                           
 Show me what to see, 
                 
  show me what to be

[Chorus]
                                        
Find a job, find a friend, find a home, find a dog
                  
Settle down, out of town
                            
Find a dream, shut it down!

                                                                      
   I don't wanna be in there with you
                                                               
   I don't wanna be in there without your loving either
                                                                
   I waited for your thoughts
                                                          
   Can't wait no longer

[Ending] The bass picks the "B" note, aaaand that's all folks!
