E
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
So how much time are you willing to waste
	Waitin' for the easy parts?
Mm -hm, what's written in your book of
	In your book of hearts?

What's written in the book that
          E                            B
Wants to tell this story where to go
A
See, it all comes back to you so



Whatever happened to John Stuart Mill
	And do you even care?
You say your life is a lame-ass joke

So how much more time are you willing to waste
	Waitin' for the easy parts?
Mm -hm, you'd better take a look
	At what's written in your book of
