Esta música é muito simples e fácil de tocar. São duas guitarras, uma com 
distorção tocando os acordes Em, Bm, D e C com aquelas batidas do CD e outra 
sem distorção, como que "dedilhando" os acordes. A música se resume a isso. 
Abaixo, a letra. 
 
Intro (BEEEM no fundo, sem dist.): Em  Bm  D  C 
 
  You better believe i'm coming, you better believe what I say 
  You better hold on to your promises,  
  Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve. 
  She's going to leave him over, she's gonna take her love away 
  So much for your eternal vows, well it does not matter anyway. 
 
  Why can't you stay here awhile, 
  Stay here awhile, stay with me 
 
  Oh, all the promises we made 
  All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed 
  Oh, all the promises we broke 
  All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke 
 
  Do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do  4x 
 
  What of all the things that you taught me 
  What of all the things that you'd say 
  What of all your prophetic preaching 
  You're just throwing it all away 
  Maybe we should burn the house down 
  Have ourselves another fight 
  Leave the cobwebs in the closet 
  Cos tearing them out is just not right 
 
  Why can't you stay here awhile, 
  Stay here awhile, stay with me 
 
  Oh, all the promises we made 
  All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed 
  Oh, all the promises we broke 
  All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke 
 
  Oh eh. Oh eh. Oh eh. Oh eh. Oh Eh.  3x 
 
  Do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do  4x
