Play bar chords in the choruses and the bridge.



Intro:

Start with just sliding between 3 and 7 on the low E and then kick 
into a strumming pattern with these things:

 | ------0------0---------- | 
 | ------0------0---------- | 
 | ------4------7---------- | 
 | ------0------0---------- | 
 | ------x------x---------- | 
 | ------3------7---------- | 

Then go back into the sliding pattern using the above chords.



Verse:

G5         C5                       G5
My friend Marcus, he sleeps in my basement

C5                            G5
His father touched more than spirit

C5                 G5
Now he can hardly sleep 

(instead of a C here, play the 2nd and 3rd frets on the a string)
Sleep



Repeat intro starting from the strumming pattern



G5       C5                          G5
I don't give a good shit if you're lonesome

C5                          G5
I think that you should go home, son

C5                      G5
Find a father and your mean

(2nd and 3rd frets on the a string)
-ing



Chorus:

G5         B5           C5                G5   F#5

Now I believe you mean everything

Now I believe you mean everything



Verse:

G5         C5                     G5
My friend Marcus, he works on a train set

C5                            G5
And I still can't move on my broke track

C5                       G5
He's helping me find my meaning

Now I believe you mean everything

(Lightly strum the intro chords)

It's funny how many don't know

How many of us don't have homes
