Once We Were Anarchists - Frank Turner

Few tabs already on here but they were not correct, this is how I play it and believe it 
is much more accurate. Enjoy!

GThe (320003@1)demonstrations got boring
              Csus2Well (x35533@1)it was obvious that the government was ignoring us
      Em7
Its hard to drag yourself through empty streets
      F6sus2
On an empty stomach and no sleep
                      GThe (320003@1)shortcomings got clearer
       Csus2As (x35533@1)the price we paid got dearer and dearer
      Em7
Its supposed to be a case of give and take
           F6sus2
Well I was feeling the give and making a mistake

Am (x02210@1)                  F (133211@1)               GAnd (320003@1)Ive heard it said that the unexamined life
Am (x02210@1)              F (133211@1)                         GIsnt (320003@1)much worth living, and Im sure theyre right
          Am (x02210@1)            F (133211@1)               GBut (320003@1)its hard to keep on fighting the good fight
     Am (x02210@1)               FWhen (133211@1)no one else seems bothered yeah
      DWhen (xx0232@1)no ones on your side

C (x32010@1)               DIm (xx0232@1)young enough to be all pissed off
         G (320003@1)              CBut (x32010@1)Im old enough to be jaded
     C (x32010@1)                DIm (xx0232@1)of the age where I want things to change
          Bm (x24432@1)                 Em (022000@1)Dsus4But (xx0233@1)with age my hopes have faded
     C (x32010@1)                      DIm (xx0232@1)young and bored of being young and bored
          B7 (x21202@1)                        Em (022000@1) Dsus4If (xx0233@1)I was old I could say Id seen it all before
    C (x32010@1)        D (xx0232@1)              GIn (320003@1)short Im tired of giving a shit

GIve (320003@1)got friends who are bankers
            Csus2And (x35533@1)its an easy rhyme to call them wankers
      Em7
But I must say I envy the way that they live
     F6sus2
In a style thats all take and no give
                           GWhile (320003@1)Im playing the Lone Ranger
              Csus2Riding (x35533@1)to the rescue of six billion strangers
Em7
Armed with only unoriginal songs
          F6sus2
And a sense that somethings wrong



C (x32010@1)                  G/B (143121@7)           Am (x02210@1)          G7And (320001@1)I must admit that Im tired of saying no all the time

 Cfucked (x32010@1)             C (x32010@1)                   D (xx0232@1)             GBecause (320003@1)the truth is I dont like people all that much

GThe (320003@1)times they arent a changing
        Csus2Yeah (x35533@1)Englands still shit and its still raining
      Em7
And everybodys jaded and tired and bored
    F6sus2
And no one lifts a finger because
                     GIts (320003@1)just not in our culture
    Csus2Our (x35533@1)culture is carrion and were all vultures
    Em7
And no one seems bothered by this state of play
   F6sus2
It seems that the stench is with us to stay
