Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x4
She's  all by herself at the end of the day
She'd  talk to herself but wouldn't know what to say
Wrings  her hands and steps out of the bath
The  mirror laughs and splits her in half
She  looks around the room
At  her carpeted tomb
Threw  the phone on the floor
Left  the keys in the door
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
when  does life  begin
 x2
 She got in the car and looked up at the stars
 And made a wish
 She held her breath and considered death
 And in the rearview mirror
 She looked back on her reflection
 She was a long way from she wanted to be
 And a long way from perfection
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
 when does life  begin
 x2
 She chickened out and she called triple-A
 And told them the way
 After she paid they fixed the car
 She got on her way and she drove past the bar
 Where no one bought her a drink at
 She always though it was 'cause she was too fat
 And now she knows those places blow
 Or maybe it was her nose
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
 Tell me  when
 when does life  begin
 x7
