Fraud is probably best counted in 6/8.
JoCo is singing on beats 1 and 4 in the “I bet you feel tapped out” section.
As diagrammed below, the bar lines are indicated by bars (|)! As mentioned above, the piece is in 6/8, except in the measures it drops into 4/8.
=================
(6/8) [Intro]
—— | —— | —— | —— |
—— | ——
It | wears you thin |
Unpacks a bag and it | settles in |
Ten times an hour you’ll | wish it dead |
Ask it |(4/8) to leave but it |(6/8) stays instead |
—— |
So unkind |
Acting as if you could | read its mind |
Making it hard to | explain without
Finding |(4/8) new things to com |(6/8) plain about |
—— |
Sharp teeth | test your skin |
Too late, | you let an angel | in
—— | —— | —— | —— |
It’s all been done |
So many accidents, | only one |
Paints you the picture you | want to see
Cover |(4/8) one eye and look |(6/8) carefully |
—— |
Big surprise |
It doesn’t care about | second tries |
You’re afraid whatever | choice you make
Won’t be |(4/8) exactly the |(6/8) right mistake
—— |
Sharp teeth | test your skin |
Too late, | you let an angel | in
I | bet you | feel tapped | out
and | nothing | left to | talk a | bout
I | guess you’re | right
You | fraud —– |
—— | —— | ——
It | tells you lies |
You say you won’t but you | compromise |
Just don’t imagine you’ll | ever win
Any |(4/8) race you aren’t |(6/8) running in |
——
It | follows through |
Four in the morning it’s | calling you
What’s | the over-under on | getting it
Done with |(4/8) out always re | gretting it? |
—— |
Sharp teeth | test your skin |
Too late, | you let an angel | in
