Verse: (On each cord you have to strum three really fast time's and then let the fourth ring
until the next chord. Listen to the song, and you'll know what i mean.)

After that you play the same chords, only faster. 8 strums per chord.

Its the same chords all the way through the song, except at the "Ahh aah aah aaah aaah

other one is playing the intro along with the vocals. You just pick whatever you want

Now you said you didn't mean it
You threw away the book of rules
You thought that we should read it
I wouldn't even know how to
Chorus:

So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else
Middle 8:

All I need is a ball and a wall

Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather x2
At this point the chords go back to the verse, along with the first riff.
Chorus:

Feels like a week
What are you moaning for
You got all that you want

You could be a nurse
Verse 3:
It seems so sensible
For us to keep the purse strings tight
And move the decimals
A couple of places to the right
Verse 4:
And its not hard to tell
That I learnt my lesson well
It seems most sensible
But not exactly what we'd like
Chorus:
What are you waiting for
Get up off your seat
Its just seven days
Feels like a week
What are you moaning for
You got all that you want
Our life could be worse
You know, we all could be cursed

So don't rearrange it

D A
I just don't like the changes

You know wouldn't to strangers

Cos it puts me in danger

But I'm still waiting for
The man to come with all my things

you could also play the D string in the chorus with these chords to be a bit more interesting
