The Freshman Tab

by Verve Pipe


           

verse 1:
                       
When I was young I knew everything
                            
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
                                      
Now I'm guilt stricken sobbing with my head on the floor
                        
Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice (no)

prechorus:
              
               I can't be held responsible
                
             'Cause she was touching her face
                 
               I won't be held responsible
              
     She fell in love in the first place

chorus:
                   
For the life of me, I cannot remember
                                                        
  What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
                     
For the life of me,  I cannot believe
                          
We'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

           

verse 2:
                              
My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
                             
His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
                                            
And now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
                             
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says...

verse 3:
                                 
We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
                            
We never talk of our lacking relationships
                                             
And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
                              
We fell through the ice, when we tried not to slip, we'd say it...

      We were merely freshmen
                           (C - single strum sounds nice IMO.)
      We were merely freshmen
