Am                Dm                Am
Used to have just one foot out the door
Am        Dm            C 
Yeah, I always wanted more
C    G            C
I always was the one
C                  E
You thought would never marry
Am            Dm          Am
Used to be willfully obtuse
Am         Dm           C
(or is the word abstruse?)
C         G          C
Semantics like a noose
C                E
Get out your dictionaries

[Pre-Chorus - start Strumming Here] 

Dm                     E 
I'm gonna cut to the quick
E                    Dm
This is all non-fiction
Dm                        E
Words you beat with a stick
E                         E7
These are my true convictions

[Chorus]

E7          Am        Dm       
So tell me, are you serious?
C         G
Are you serious?
C           G              C
Cause every night of your life
C        E
You'll fight for it
Am      Dm  
So mysterious
C        G
How imperious!
C           G
But are you serious
B                             E
When it really comes down to it?

Am                Dm                     Am
I see that you're down there and I'm up here 
Am                Dm             C
Your boyfriend's gone to get a beer
C         G           C           E
Leaving us crystal clear lines of communications
Am             Dm                Am
Promise me you won't avert your eyes
Am            Dm                 C
I drop my third-person in disguise
C           G                 C
You know it's time to do or die
C                    E
No useless explanations

Cause every night of your life
C        E
You'll fight for it
