Verse 1: Bass and guitar 2 only here
The hand of my clock strikes two
In times when I got the best of you
We made promises we couldn't keep
And every night we couldn't sleep
I didn't know why, but didn't ask questions
because it was the first time in my life
yeah the first time in my life
E(hold)
Where I, did something right
Chorus:

Verse 2:
You pick me apart
While I search for witty
things to say (In my defense)
"You'll never amount to anything anyway"
(Don't press your luck, don't press your luck)
And think that I'm impressed
with your one night stands
and your contagious kiss
C#m(hold)-B(hold)
I'm trying to get this right
A(hold)
Yeah, cause I'm ridiculous like that
