Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x4

She's all by herself at the end of the day

She'd talk to herself but wouldn't know what to say

Wrings her hands and steps out of the bath

The mirror laughs and splits her in half

She looks around the room

At her carpeted tomb

Threw the phone on the floor

Left the keys in the door

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

when does life begin

x2

She got in the car and looked up at the stars

And made a wish

She held her breath and considered death

And in the rearview mirror

She looked back on her reflection

She was a long way from she wanted to be

And a long way from perfection

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

 when does life begin

x2

Bridge

She chickened out and she called triple-A

And told them the way

After she paid they fixed the car

She got on her way and she drove past the bar

Where no one bought her a drink at

She always though it was 'cause she was too fat

And now she knows those places blow

Or maybe it was her nose

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

 Tell me when

 when does life begin
