[Verse 2]
                C      F                  GOut through the mouth, pretend you're eighteen
C                                 F               GMaybe when you're grown this will all have been a dream
    F                    GThe bathroom mirror, the stucco walls
     Em           AmThe devil waiting in the hall

Em             AmPaperclips all in a row

[Chorus]
    C        G           FBut life has tripped you up by your laces
     C             G         FThey thought maybe you would stop with these phases
    C       G      FYou came to a full stop in the races
