There's No "I" In Team
by Good Riddance
tabbed by Darby Edelen

Great song on their newest album.  Two guitars are used here and there, some of the lead guitar work I've tabbed may be a bit off, but the rhythm 
guitar is dead on (once you pickup the... err... rhythm).

Verse:
 I can still remember times
 Of prosperity while staring clear eyed
 With broad strokes of promise

             A#                      G#  G
 We coloured highlights of our future and

D#               G     
 something we'll never get

       C                 G#
 Until we look back with sincere regret

         D#                 G
 As our american dreams are subject to

    A#                  C#
 collapse beneath their density


Chorus:

           C       A#      G#                                   Co      Do      D#o
 And we'll break before we bend         Lead Guitar:  And we'll break before we bend

      D#              A#
 With tomorrow as yet undetermined

         C          A#      G#                                Co         Do      D#o
 You can write your congressmen		Lead Guitar:  You can write your congressmen

               D#                A#
 And take your grievences to the highest level

    C         A#     G#                                  Co        Do     D#o
 To achieve a common end                Lead Guitar:  To achieve a common end

    D#        A#                     G# (left hand muting off & on)
 To serve the bourgeois, the laissez-faire

Verse:
          D#               G
 Citizens duty-bound so we play our part

        C                          G#
 If you kill the brain then you'll stop the heart
 
        D#         G
 And we foster the illusion of a

 A#              G#  G
 Democratic archetype

        D#                   G
 Can we forge hope from this devastation

     C           G#
 And bring about participation

    D         G
 To stem the apathetic tide

     A#                          C#
 Now poised to wash us all away

Chorus:
(I've only included the lyrics, the chords are the same)

 And we break before we bend
 With tomorrow as yet undetermined
 We achieve such selfish ends
 'Till we concern ourselves with the plight of others
 you can write your congressmen
 And ***ing spit in the wind
 For all the good it'll do you friend

D#

Bridge:

 We havent got the luxury

 Of neutral observation

 'Cause when its said and done

B|-------------------8---|        
 We stand or fall as one

G|-------------------------8---|        
 And though the situations grave

B|-------------------------6h8-----|        
G|-----------------------------8---|        
 I think its worth the risk to save

 This notion of the free

                       A#
 And the asylum of the brave

Outro (left hand muting off & on):

D#  G#  C  A#
