Within the alternative world, Seven Mary Three have often been compared to the mainstream-sounding, garage/arena rock of post-Ten Pearl Jam, but the group insists that their refusal to alienate themselves from the rest of the world makes them different. Instead, Seven Mary Three offer songs concerning self-discovery and true outsiders isolated from society. Based in Virginia (where the bandmates attended the College of William and Mary), Seven Mary Three signed to the Mammoth label after releasing a self-produced album, Churn, in 1994.

* Use strumming for chords- Use your ear for timing of the strumming.
* song begins with drum intro * 0:00 - 0:26 G I don't want to spend the rest of my life C starin' at a man, Looking down a line E what's he say? 'Not my style' C Just a stylized version of an obsolete file G I don't want to spend the rest of my time C lookin' for the words I'm never going to find E You read them in a book and apply them to your life C but how can I be as pretty as she writes?
0:27 - 0:39 DC I know I'm all right. Because ECED the needle can't burn what the needle can't find
0:40 - 1:04 G She don't want to spend the rest of her heart C waste it on a job, and never get a start E Part of her says she should be herself C and part of her says she should be with someone else G I don't want to spend the rest of my life C looking for a girl I'm never gonna find. E Starin' back at me when I come home at night C but how can she be as pretty as I write?
1:05 - 1:16 DC I know I'm all right. Because ECED the needle can't burn what the needle can't find
1:17 - 1:42 * guitar solo * GCEC GCEC
1:43 - end DC I don't want to spend the rest of my life ECED starin' at a man, Looking down a line DC It will be hard, but I know I'm all right, EC because the needle can't burn EC what the needle can't find ECE And the money won't save what the money C can't buy EC And part of me is safe ECD And part of me is lies G So be mine tonight.
