Intro- A5 , C#5 , D5 , A5 X2

A5                   C#5                             D5 
Before you say a word I should tell you that I've heard it all before
                 A5
And you should probably save your breath
                      C#5                            D5
Your feelings of disgust, your thinly veiled mistrust
                                  A5
My friends have lectured me to death

A5                    C#5                     D5
The people on the news predicted he would lose
                            A5
And this was never part of anybody's thoughts
                               C#5                          
But something must have gave, or someone must have caved
                  D5                                       A5
'Cause now he's up there and they're calling all the shots

 A5                                            C#5
And now most everyone's been taking turns at pointing out the flaws
    D5                         A5
Accusing us of sabotage and fracturing the cause
                                   C#5                            
With fingers pointing everywhere and flapping of the jaws
         D5                              A5
I just avert my eyes and take the abuse

A5                            C#5
In social situations I keep mostly to myself
        D5                             A5
'Cause no one wants to hear about my failing mental health
                                C#5    
And party conversation, I just keep it on the shelf
              D5                               A5
'Cause I've discovered it's of very little use

A5             D5
And now I'm here
                  A5
Stopped at the red light
              B5
Watching the headlights
    F#5                          D5
And what if it's all a trick that I fell for
               A5                             B5    G5    D5
It's happened before more times than I would care to own up to
                       A5
And I don't know about you
                        B5
But I've been getting so tired
   F#5                     D5
Of holding out my thumb for salvation
         A5                            B5     G5      D5  
The indication is that no one really feels like slowing down

A5                    C#5                   D5
I listen to the Clash, I separate my trash
                          A5
I'm pretty vocal when I feel like things are getting out of hand
                    C#5                       D5
But nothing that I do is ever getting through
                       A5
And I just wonder if nobody understands at all

A5                        C#5                              D5
The revolution won't be televised 'cause television's free
                      A5
And no one's really sure just what the price is going to be
                       C#5                          D5
We're slowly going broke, our scene's become a joke
                           A5
For coked-up funnymen and everyone but me

A5                            C#5                         D5
I like to think that what we had was more than just a fad
                           A5
That it was rooted in some bigger kind of truth
                                    C#5                        
But friends just shake their heads, make jokes about the Dead
    D5                                   A5
And tell me that they used to think the same things in their youth

D5                   A5
I'm stopped at the red light
               B5
Watching for headlights
    F#5                           D5
And what if it's all a trick that I fell for
               A5                             B5    G5    D5
It's happened before more times than I would care to own up to
                       A5
And I don't know about you
                      B5
But I've been getting so tired
   F#5                      D5
Of holding out my thumb for salvation
         A5                           B5       G5     D5 
The indication is that no one really feels like slowing down
