[Verse 1]
E            Em            B
after you're done with the rooster
E           Em          B

better take care of yourself
E             Em            B        G#m     C#m       A       B

call them and give out your name and number, ask for municipal help.

[Verse 2]
E           Em    B 
after you finish lying about
E                  Em       B
things that you'll never regret
E
            Em         B            G#m      C#m            A         B
call her and beg her to call off the wedding, 
take back your loving instead.

[Chorus]
A                    C#m
put it in a safe and lock it
A                    C#m
put it in a safe and lock it
A                    C#m           E     Em   B
put it in a safe and lock it for a long, long time.

[Verse 3]
E          Em       B    
after you restart rewriting
    E         Em              B
the third act in each of your plays
E           Em       B 
      G#m        C#m        A           B
call it whatever you want to call it 
as long as it gets you to bed

[Chorus]
A                    C#m
put it in a safe and lock it
A                    C#m
put it in a safe and lock it
A                    C#m           E     Em   B
put it in a safe and lock it for a long, long time.
