I said I tried to call the nurse a gain, but she’s being a lit tle bitch.

I think I’ll get out of here,

where I can (A5)run just as fast as I can to the mid dle of no where, to the mid dle of my frus trat ed fears.

And I (A5)swear, you’re just like a pill.

’Stead of mak ing me bet (D5)ter, you keep mak ing me ill, you keep mak ing me ill.
