Six weeks with a metronome and I've learned that I rush every single chorus

Update from the lessons front. My teacher set a metronome on the music stand and asked me to play a song I've known for fifteen years. I have never been so humbled by a clicking noise. Verses: fine. Chorus: I speed up like I'm late for a bus. Every time. He says it's the most common thing he hears from self-taught players, because we all learned by playing along to the exciting part of the record. It's getting better. Slowly. At exactly the tempo I set, which is the whole problem.
