Nick:
  Let the cards fall, and fall where they may
  All I can do, all I can say
  Gotta learn to trust my instincts
  And surrender, let my songs sing itself
  I am they who admit what they don't know
  All my friends excitable, they'll tell you so
---> Play Ending A over:
Nick:
  So let the cards fall, and fall where they may
  In checkin' on our conviction dick
  We run the *** our own way
  Do as you will, Do as you wish
  Follow your bliss on every day
  Never ask for an advantage
  Let the cards fall where they may
---> Play Ending B (x4)
---> Play Ending A over:
Nick:
  So let the cards fall, and fall where they please
  Ask me while we're at it, I do it with ease
  Taking up space is the people who would like to hold you back
  But in reality, the majority don't really give jack
---> Play Ending B (x4)
---> End on C5/G (3355xx)
