Great song by a great band with a strange name. They deserve to get more recognition.
The chords are easy, but you can add a few notes to the transitions to spice it up a little.
Intro: G D Em Am C x2
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1)I know that it's been said before,
Am (x02210@1) Cbut (x32010@1)not like this, or with these chords:
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1)
I wish that I was someone else
Am (x02210@1) Cso (x32010@1)I could sit down with myself,
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Emand (022000@1)maybe I could help explain
Am (x02210@1) Cthese (x32010@1)crazy thoughts I entertain
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Emabout (022000@1)my life, and everything,
Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1)
like how it's really happening right now.
G D Em Am C x2
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1)
I'm bored, I'm restless, disconnected,
Am (x02210@1) Caimlessness (x32010@1)has left me breathless.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) EmBut (022000@1)my life has been redirected
Am (x02210@1) Cand (x32010@1)I'm starting to accept this.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) EmSo (022000@1)efforts now must be relentless
Am (x02210@1) Cbecause (x32010@1)failure's leaving me so upset with
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Emmyself, (022000@1)but I swear this is all that I love;
Am (x02210@1) Cyou're (x32010@1)going to see exactly what I'm made of tonight.
G D Em Am C C
D (xx0232@1)
As for the rest of my life,
G (320003@1) G7well, (320001@1)I'll just wait and see what happens to me
Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) C7 (x32310@1)from here.
Em (022000@1) GSo (320003@1)it seems, like all of the time
Am (x02210@1) CI'm (x32010@1)about to change my mind.
Em (022000@1) GI'm (320003@1)so naive, yet resolute
Am (x02210@1) Cafter (x32010@1)I've decided what to do.
Em (022000@1) GI (320003@1)can't wear a tie on my collared shirt,
Am (x02210@1) CI (x32010@1)can't get a job and just go to work.
Em (022000@1) GI'm (320003@1)worried sick like you wouldn't believe
Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) C7have (x32310@1)you any idea what this means to me?
G Em Am C x2
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) EmLooking (022000@1)back now makes me laugh,
Am (x02210@1) CI'm (x32010@1)grateful I don't want the things that I lack.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) EmExcept (022000@1)for time, oh goddam me,
Am (x02210@1) Cwhen (x32010@1)did free time become such a luxury?
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) EmSee, (022000@1)if I don't do this while I'm young
Am (x02210@1) CI'm (x32010@1)certain that it wont get done.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1)So I've made my choice and it's all right,
Am (x02210@1) CI'm (x32010@1)ready to really start living my life.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) EmSo (022000@1)I swear to god that I will quit my job
Am (x02210@1) Cand (x32010@1)drive until my car just stops.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) EmI'll (022000@1)walk until I reach the ocean,
Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) Gmaybe (320003@1)I will know what to do by then.
