Amwhen (x02210@1)i was young, i drank too much, E (022100@1) Amand (x02210@1)i'd be lying if i said i didn't feel so goddamn young tonight; G (320003@1) Emaybe (022100@1)too young to ask what's on my mind. F (133211@1) Amlike: (x02210@1)if freedom means doing what you want (well), E (022100@1) Amdon't (x02210@1)you gotta want something? F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) Eand (022100@1)won't you tell me that we want something more than just more beer? and my friends, if that ain't true, won't you lie to me tonight? Am (x02210@1) Ewell, (022100@1)i've been listening to minor threat records all day, and shit if i do not know every word. Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1) Ei (022100@1)sing along as i tie off. Am (x02210@1) Eand (022100@1)ian screams he's "out of step" as i throw the cotton into the spoon, draw up into the syringe. Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1) Ei'll (022100@1)know just what he means until i hit a vein. F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) E (022100@1) Ambut (x02210@1)after that i won't have to bother with knowing who i am, for a while at least. F (133211@1) Amin (x02210@1)a moment the whole world is gonna melt around me, Eand (022100@1)i'll swear i don't miss it as a i lie to you tonight. C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fbecause (133211@1)i'm afraid to look the world in the eye. C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fif (133211@1)nothing's gonna change, well, then i'd rather die. C (x32010@1) Eand (022100@1)i'm too unemployed to organize a union; Am (x02210@1) Fi'm (133211@1)too intoxicated to tear down a building. C (x32010@1) Ei'm (022100@1)too hopeless to look for a solution; Ami'm (x02210@1)afraid that if i found one, F (133211@1) Ci'd (x32010@1)be out of excuses for the way i waste away E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fin (133211@1)the gutters that i chose like fashion accessories to go with my dirty clothes. C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Ami (x02210@1)haven't bathed in months, but you know it's not because i've been fighting bourgeois morals: Fi'm (133211@1)just lazy and i'm young. Am (x02210@1) Ei've (022100@1)seen the best minds of my generation dying drunk or high from the rooftops to the parking lots, Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1) Estomped (022100@1)to death in west philadelphian squats. Am (x02210@1) Ethey've (022100@1)got me waiting on a day when we can say "fuck the police!" with a little bit of integrity, Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1) Ewhen (022100@1)it will mean: "i've got your back if you've got mine!" F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) E (022100@1) Amgive (x02210@1)me a scene where i believe in more than bad hair cuts, guilt, and misery. F (133211@1) Ami (x02210@1)don't know where i fit between the vegans and the nihilists. Ethat (022100@1)might be the first thing i've said that wasn't a lie tonight. C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fbecause (133211@1)there's gotta be something more than lying in the front yard, naked, screaming at the constellations. C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fi (133211@1)want something more than an apology to say when i look the world in the eye. C (x32010@1) Ei'll (022100@1)tell you, man, my friend william came to me with a message of hope. Am (x02210@1) Fit (133211@1)went: "fuck you and everything that you think you know. C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fif (133211@1)you don't step outside the things that you believe they're gonna kill you." C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Amhe (x02210@1)said: "no one's gonna stop you from dying young, and miserable, and right, Fbut (133211@1)if you want something better, you gotta put that shit aside." C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fi (133211@1)thought about how for thousands of years there have been people who told us that things can't go on like this: C (x32010@1) Efrom (022100@1)jesus chris to the diggers, Amfrom (x02210@1)malthus to zerzan, Ffrom (133211@1)karl marx to huey newton, C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fbut (133211@1)the shit goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on x 3? (first time short, second time strum, end on C) G (320003@1) Fnow, (133211@1)i'm not saying that we can't change the world, C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fbecause (133211@1)everybody does at least a little bit of that. C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fbut (133211@1)i won't shit myself: the way i'm living is a temper tantrum C (x32010@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Fand (133211@1)i need something else, need something else, need something else to stay alive. C E Am F jam (ohohoh.) F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) E (022100@1) Amand (x02210@1)on the night that i play my last show, i'll be singing so loud that my heart explodes. F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) Eand (022100@1)i'll be singing, and i'll be singing: we are free! F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) E (022100@1) Amoh, (x02210@1)but won't you promise me that we won't ever forget what the means? F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) Ei (022100@1)know it's hard to give a shit sometimes, but promise me we'll always try. F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) Ebecause (022100@1)i don't wanna hate you, and i don't wanna hate me, F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) Eand (022100@1)i don't wanna have to hate everything anymore. ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
