 Straighten  up my shoulders for my mother and mirrors
 The overcompensation of a posture I'm dying to know
 Feeling  like a kid selling ten dollar chocolates
 Reciting all my rehearsed lines to your closing door
 Thought  a change of scenery would make me feel better
 Moved four hundred miles away, I'm still staring at the floor
 And  feeling useless as a mime in a counseling session
 Here's a million mute expressions, here's the one where I choke on my words
 Then in  comes the church with the answers
 Ah Ah bless me with those tired  acronyms
 They look good on the overhead slide
 They're saving lives
 Works every time
 Coughing  courtesy up in a month of indifference
 And lapping up the lie with an apologetic tongue
 I'm  polishing my eyelids with a hand on your shoulder
 Scripted adornment always kills concern
 Sick  of coming home with the TV mumbling
 There used to be a time when you spoke to me with words
 I'm  swearing up and down saying it's a commitment
 And toasting new beginnings saying sorry I thought it would work
 All my speech  is riddled with annulment
 I'm sorry, I'm just doing  what I think I should
 I'm gathering my things and I'm leaving  for good in November
 I don't know when  I'll talk to you
 I guess when both our eyes have finally died
 I still want to try
 Still wanna try
 Still wanna try
 End on C.
 Hope it helps, the D and A parts can be done with chords or power chords, up to you. DATH owns.
