She laid the Tarot cards out
She gave I Ching a whirl
She threw the bones and the runic stones
But they kept comin' up sayin' "It's all up to you, Girl!"
A
Whatever happened to John Stuart Mill
And do you even care?
E
You say your life is a lame-ass joke
But it's the kind of a joke you don't get if you're not there
B
So how much time are you willing to waste
A
Waitin' for the easy parts?
E E7 A am B
Mm -hm, what's written in your book of
E
In your book of hearts?
He dropped the car keys in the mail
He pulled the pas de chat
So now he'll never be rich and yeah it's kind of a bitch
But it's better than puttin' up with yada yada yada
'Cause destiny has its way
Of sneakin' in under your guard
That's the tale that you told but it isn't the story
You gave when you said that the lesson was too hard

Waitin' for the easy parts?

At what's written in your book of
In your book of hearts!
