Okay - So this song is incredibly easy, built off 4 chords:
G : 320033
C9 : x32033
Em7 : x22033
D :xx0232

The entire song you use a Capo on the 1st fret, all up until the solo/bridge section 
where there is a pause for a beat and you go up a step to Capo on the 3rd fret. You've 
gotta be speedy with the transition, but its easier than playing barre E's and stuff

------ANYWAYS------

Capo 1

Intro: G (listen to the song, its literally a slow strum then a fast one)

What are you asking me for?

It's not my *** history
What do you hope to find here?
There's nothing left as you can see

With the beatings held again
We begin to scream and run
But the current pulls us down
And the smallest ones were drawn
Now we sit and drink all day
And sing their songs of praise

What are you asking me for?
It's not my *** history
What do you hope to find here?
There's nothing left as you can see

There was something in the waves
That arrived to take our place
We were broken one by one
By the angels in the sun

Now we sit and drink all day
Telling tales of yesterday
And it always ends the same

What are you asking me for?
It's not my *** history
What do you hope to find here?
I thought I made it crystal clear

We learned a lot about the art of contradiction
We learned a lot about the company we keep
We learned a lot about what keeps us all together
I'm with you until the end

What are you asking me for?
What are you asking me for?

What are you asking me for?
(It's just my *** history)
What are you asking me for?
(It's just my *** history)
What are you asking me for?
(It's just my *** history)
What are you asking me
Let the beatings now begin
