Standard (EADGBE)

It like to play the song using barre chords: , ,

and Bm(II) in the "things you learnt" bit

you could use power (5th) chords. They often use "normal" open position chords live

//// //// //// ////

Bm fade out w/vol or whatever

All around you slow decay

Wanna feel the sun of a new day

Forget all tme chances lost

Shedding innocence like falling dust

All the things you learned too young

The songs you knew but never sung

Waited a long time and wasted more

Forgotten what you waited for

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude

Feels like 100 years of solitude

My mind is numb but my mouth's ok

And you can listen or walk away

| | | x2

No solutions built to last

Just your petty scores to settle fast

The n.m.e was nothing to you

And the maker, well the maker of who

This walkman generation

In search of sweet sedation

While forests choke under a'lever sky

And the exxon birds that'll never fly

Chorus

Bridge

We tried, we cried. We fell. We lied

X\\\

This life's like a white knuckle ride

Crack babies born too young

And l.a. kids who dance to the gun

So forget this so called dirt of mine

It's tust the dust and diesel of passing time

It's all around you - a tragedy, look

So forget the cover and read the book.

Chorus

Outro

E5 Palm Muted then as Bridge to End

Have fun!

oh if anyone can tell me what is meant by the whole "a'lever sky" and "exxon birds" (or any) bit

please tell me!

its been buggin me for ages
