Verse:

So we talk and it turns out we don't believe in abortion
And sex outside marriage is against our religion
And when I try to tell them I'm 18 years old,
They say "Levi it's too late, you've got to do as you're told"

(As before, riff bit followed by the chord bit above. You might want to unmute the riff 
at this point and
add a couple of the same notes at a different octave or use G5 , F#5 , F5 and E5 ,
to give it some variation, but you can't easily fit full chords to these bits.)
