Status Quo (Darren Criss Livestream Version) This is tabbed from the livestream. I think it´s mostly correct except for some chords where I couldn´t exactly see what he was doing. Capo on 7th G~ = 320013 E7sus4 = 020200 D/F# = 2x0232 Intro I---------------------I---------------------I---------------------| I-----0-------0-------I-----1-------1-------I-----3-------3-------| I---------0-------0---I---------0-------0---I---------0-------0---| I---2---2---2---2-----I---2---2---2---2-----I---4---4---4---4-----| I---------------------I---------------------I---------------------| I---------------------I---------------------I---------------------| I---------------------| I-----3-------3-------| I---------0-------0---| I---4---4---4---4-----| I---------------------| I---------------------| (couple of times, also during the first bit of lyrics) It starts with not questioning the answers And giving up before you've begun It locks all the doors, increases the pressure And in a flash your time is up before it's done A7 C F And you won't know how it can feel Fm To feel at all Am Fmaj7 C G Dm Am So I say no-o-o to status quo-o-o F C Who wants to be like the rest G~ G E7 And deny the best that I'm meant for Am Fmaj7 C G Dm Am I wil show-o-ow the status quo-o-o F C Who wants to be normal I'll never conform Dm (intro bit 1x) I will be content to resent the status quo-o-o A7 F I'll kick down the walls around me Am G~ They don't know how strong I am C F I'm not defined by boundaries Am G~ F They could never understand CHORUS Fm Gm Eb7 Bb F Cm Gm Fm I'm so much more -o- ore than status quo-o-o Eb Bbm7 ? F G~ Who cares about being another pipe dreamer stuck on the bottom floor Dm Fmaj7 C G E Am And I know-o -ow it's time to go-o- o F C so maybe I've gotten everything that I wanted Dm But I think that I might have made it so F F Fm When I said no no no C G (?)
