Verse 1

 C#m                          B
 Looking down the barrel of a gun

 B                       Ab
 Can't see what you have won

 Ab                    Ab7          C#m
 Underline putting the emphasis on fun

 C#m                          B          Ab
 catch a glimpse out of the corner of my eye

            Ab7
 of all the traits I try to hide


Chorus (Faster)

       C#m           A            F#
 Don't beat yourself up about the future

      B                A          E (7th fret)
 just drink yourself into another stupor

       B             A       
 We're middle class, white

          C#m
 Suburban males

       B             A       
 We're middle class, white

          E
 Suburban males


Verse 2

 C#m                        B
 Nothing that is said or is spoken

 B                     Ab
 Puts the truth in the open

 Ab                  Ab7                     C#m
 No regrets we don't lie about our sheltered lives

 C#m                      B                       Ab
 I didn't realise that it mattered where you came from

 Ab     Ab7
 Take a look at yourself


Chorus (Faster)

       C#m           A            F#
 Don't beat yourself up about the future

      B                A          E (7th fret)
 just drink yourself into another stupor

       C#m           A            F#
 Don't beat yourself up about the future

      B                A          E (7th fret)
 just drink yourself into another stupor

       B             A       
 We're middle class, white

          C#m
 Suburban males

       B             A       
 We're middle class, white

          E
 Suburban males

Verse 3 (slowed with different feel)


 C#m                          B
 Looking down the barrel of a gun

 B                       Ab
 Can't see what you have won

 Ab                       Ab7                               C#m
 Why try to hide when you might just as well have been crucified

 C#m                         B                   Ab
 Why be ashamed when there's nothing that can be done

        Ab7
 Take a look at yourself


Chorus (Faster)

       C#m           A            F#
 Don't beat yourself up about the future

      B                A          E (7th fret)
 just drink yourself into another stupor

       C#m           A            F#
 Don't beat yourself up about the future

      B                A          E (7th fret)
 just drink yourself into another stupor

       B             A       
 We're middle class, white

          C#m
 Suburban males

        B             A       
 We are middle class, white

          E
