NOTES: - Standard tuning (EADGBE)
- Intro & Verses use 3 pitch strings (GBE), so I used those strings
only to save space
- Chorus uses power chords on lower three strings (see Chorus Chords
- Play the verses with a reggae-esque "chink-a" style

Standing in the doorway of distress
Ask MD for ways out of this mess
A wave of panic every time that I lose a hair
I believe I'm falling apart but quite despair
(Repeat Verse lines 1,2,3,4b)
Turns into this one thing I just can't ignore
Don't know what I am feeling anymore
I guess it's time to end this affair
Like I don't care - I don't care
