The chorus becomes a new verse without much warning, so pay attention.
Otherwise, another simple but effective bassline from Miss Deal.

[Verse 1] x4 "Gouge away..."

[Chorus 1] "Missy aggravation..."

Note that the chorus is very short, so by the time the last line of the chorus is being
sung, you are back into playing the verse again.

Remember to throw in the emphasis on the last few notes on the third time
before you go into the chorus. Go on, be angry.
